Removing A-Pillar Gauge Trim

Hi all,

One of the gauges in my a-pillar pack has gone bad. I have the replacement gauge, but can't get the little trim plugs out of the pillar panel to get to the screws. Any tips on getting those little guys out?

Chris

Which screws are you referring to? My A-pillar trim is held in place with spring clips. For the plastic tabs that secure the pod to the A-pillar, one of those slotted trim tab removal tools helps a lot. You could also make one out of a thin metal putty knife and slot it with a dremel or similar.

If just the gauge is bad you should be able to pop it out with some gentle prying under the gauge face lip, that's how I get my ISSPRO EV2's out whenever I want to adjust the programming.

Well here I am trying to be all fancy about it and the darn thing just pulls right out! New gauge is now installed!

Thanks!
