I've bought a new centre console trim but can't work out how to remove the intermittent wiper knob and cigar lighter from the original trim? Anyone advise me how to do this? Thanks :?:

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Get a butter knife (ok just a blunt knife etc) and carefully prise the side moulding off. (approx 4 clips from memory - just pop the two outer ones and then the inner ones just let go) The 1.5"x5" strip of plastic holding the three buttons and ciggie lighter etc should pop off by just working the blunt blade round the periphery. Work from the leather side, not the a/c+radio side. Hold a tea-towel etc between leather and flat blade if you are concerned. Once free, just turn over and push/pull buttons/ciggie lighter/wiper dial etc off. Not my car, but this is the panel (should be a trim break-out at cup-holder height)

Thanks had worked out how to remove the actual facia but was stumped on the cigarette lighter. Perseverence prevailed with an element of brute force which did the trick! Cheers
