S4S 4 55 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I was thinking of painting my heater control surround. How is this removed ? I presume it's fixed from the underside? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 11,377 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Looks like it's clipped in (Part 11 is 'Clip' and there are 8 of them in the parts manual but the image implies 4 are used on the centre console trim)...

agentdr8 150 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just a bunch of clips. I start near the handbrake end and pull upwards. You'll likely drop a few clips into the center tunnel, so have a magnetic retrieval tool handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S4S 4 55 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks I thought it was fixed in another way. I will try that ☺️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S4S 4 55 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 The gear leaver surround came of easily but the surround seems to be well fixed and can't budge it. Are the controls separate to the cover. I will try again but don't want to snap the bottom half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agentdr8 150 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 The HVAC controls are on a separate board, but it's screwed to the top finishing surround, so they should come out together. Once released, you can unclip the electrical connections from the backside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
