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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone give me a quick DIY on how to remove this piece? Its the "U" Shape piece on that has the vents and the three circle holes down the sides. Does it just pull out in 8.53 seconds like the CD holder? The replacement ones I have seen come with clips.. thanks

POST 2Original post

I did this earlier in the week to replace the intermittent wiper control. Start at the bottom corner (I started at the bottom left) Carefully lift the corner and insert a plastic spatula underneath. Slowly move the spatula up the edge until you hit increased resistance, then use it as a lever to push the horseshoe out. On my '99 the horeshoe is actually multiple pieces, so only the left part of the horseshoe came out. It's really easy - takes only a few seconds.

What Wayne said ^ above. It takes about 56.63 seconds! Oh, and you must be slow with the cubby swap. The "official" time 8.42 seconds.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK the console came out easy , then the thing bit me when pushing the buttons through, damn plastic is sharp!! Having trouble with the circular DC popping out- I ended up unplugging it but its still the housing is still sitting in the piece. The other circular windshield thing popped through forward, I'm not sure if I clip is holding this in or not? I know it has to pop out somehow because of the pics I've seen when the piece is out..thanks

DC? If it's like the wipe speed control you need to squeeze the two finger holds together and push out the front of the face piece.
