Default Changing wood on the dashboard

A quick 'how to' incase anyone want to know how to remove those pesky bits of wood that are attached to the dashboard as its not immediately obvious how to do it:

Shot of the walnut trim we want to change:




You first need to remove the glovebox, which is a fairly obvious 3 x 8mm bolts, then we need to remove the vent to gain access, and to do this we have 2 x 4mm allen bolts to remove under here:

**** UPDATE: People have reported further in this thread that it is not the two highlighted bolts, but the single bolt in the middle - Please read the whole thread ****



Once they're gone, the vent will prize outwards. Its tough, and tight, but the dash is tough and soft (if that makes any sense) so you can give it some good welly to lever it out



The secret to it all is a clip that is directly up inside the vent. Pull it down with your fingers and it will release the trim:



Once this clip is removed, you can pull the left hand side of the trim (where the clip was holding it on) outwards and then slide the trim out to the left.



Refitting is the reversal of removal:



The trim on the drivers side is very similar, on its much smaller and has two retaining clips directly up once inside the vent. Pull both of these out to release....

Enjoy
