Help required with interior trim!

[Christian H]

Hi,
This is my first post and am hoping someone can help!After buying some silver interior trim there is one of the items I am having trouble with,its the three strips that run across the dash I have looked for screws, pulled the edges even had a little poke with an electrical screwdriver!but to no avail I don't want to damage anything so have stopped trying for now. I would be very grateful for any pointers as the new pieces are starting to gather dust in my garage,
fingers crossed.

I believe they are held in by screws that are screwed in from the back. It takes a contortionist to get them out if you want them intact.

Thanks for that info Shaman I will stop trying to force them off now and ask for the assistance of my wife (small hands slim wrists)

The only method of removing those 3 strips would be to remove the entire dash from the car.

Are you sure about that Rareair ? the gent I bought them from had them removed to have carbon fiber items fitted by a guy that looks after his car,he told me it took no more then a couple of hours but did not see how it was done,the strips are un marked so I don't believe they where forced off but I can't see the dash been removed in that time.
Do you have first hand experience of this mod?

Looks like the two small pieces can be popped off. The longer one is held in by screws. Check out this thread.
