How to remove switches?
 

Hi guys,

want to know how to remove the switches around the radio/HVAC area (the ones such as door lock, top operation, T/C, etc.) I can take the plastic wings off that hold them, but then I want to take the switches out of that trim.

Looks like the clip in somehow, thought I might ask before possibly breaking one while I try to pry the wrong spot! Any help?

Regards,
Sam

Simply remove the "horseshoe" trim and the switches just snap in/out, if I remember correctly; I don't recall any trick to removing them

You may have trouble removing the cig lighter. If you do, let me know and I will walk you thru.

I have removed the horseshoe, but they aren't just 'popping out'. They appear to clip in somehow. I dont really just want to push harder in case I break something.

Can someone who has done this before confirm you do just push harder or if there is a spot you have to press/lift etc?

If they are anything like the window switches in the center console they are a bit tricky to snap out, study them closely and you'll get them out,I just recently did mine but I can't remember the details to how the switch came out, like all these things once you do get one out it will be obvious lol...like a lot of the panels and such it seems they will break but they do pop out.

Thanks guys - all sorted (including cig lighter) Have my new carbon surround all in place now :)

Let's see some pictures!!

Ok can do! In picture is the radio surround, my home made carbon iPhone holder, carbon shifter and you can just see the carbon cluster surround.
