Hey guys i tried to install this today:-



I pulled out my dash & everything but how do I get the plastic thing off? It seems to be glued, does that mean I have to snap it out? Thanks in advance guys...

Bump for the answer to as I have to replace the cracked plastic thing on mine..

I would suggest getting a low temp heat gun or a hairdryer and applying the heat to the glued edge, the glue should go tacky fairly quickly, then you can pull the cover away. Make sure you test the heat first on an area that won't be really visible just in case the heat makes the plastic go cloudy. Just a suggestion, I haven't done this before on a dash but I've done a similar thing with plastic lens headlights and I had no troubles...

you don't need to do use any heat guns etc. the plastic bit should come off. I tooko the thing off to put on my luminious glow dials recently.

[NightKids]

It doesn't really come off because it's like glued together... if you were to take it off you'll have to snap it off. But then how do you put it together again?

[Boban]

I used a heat gun on low temp. as Captiva Blue had and pulled it off carefully. I painted mine white. And than just re-glue it back in place. Marte, your dials sit underneath the plastic that NightKids is talking about. That comes off the cluster because it's held in by clips or something, i pulled that off too when i did my indiglows. But yeah, just be very carefull whed you do it man, it's not hard

[NightKids]

Yeah if it gets a bit too hard, i'll consider selling it...

[ToFuBoi]
