I was afraid of the solder iron route as well and just used my own method based on the solder pen instructions.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 4Original post

Ok Loren covered both with one reply.....Man he is good!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thank you. look like the old strips cannot re-use again?

POST 6Original post

Until I read this I thought I wanted to replace my strips. All of a sudden the black looks pretty good

POST 7Original post

I used a solder gun method to remove the strips. Take your new set and match the strip up and find out the location of the screws. use a magic marker and dot the location of the screws. The solder gun will go righ through the plastic. It is a 5 min Job. When you attach the new strips I used hot glue to assure a tight secure fit. This is a very simple DIY job. Good luck.

POST 9Original post

I was afraid of the solder iron route as well and just used my own method based on the solder pen instructions. I just started the stip removal at the A/C vent with a scredriver under the strip until it popped up a bit and believe it or not, just pulling it out all the way across was a snap (or shall I say unstrap). Of course, it is not re-usable when you are done but I had the sodler pen NOWHERE near my all leather dash. Not sure if my strips were an anomoly being less difficult to remove with the solder pen method but I was willing to try b/c I realy knew I would screw up my dash.
