Radio cover installation

sky2k · 04-05-2008, 01:07 AM

i just purchased the silver radio cover to replace the old black one and was wondering if anybody has any tips on taking the old one off and putting the new one on...i haven't received the part yet, but it said it'd come with instructions...but if anyone has done this it'd be cool to get a heads up on how hard the install is. thanks!

I had to break the inside of the old black one out to get to the pins, to push them out.

To remove the old one open the radio door and grab ahold of it with both hands. With a firm motion, give it a yank trying to pull the bottom of it towards you. The top is held in by a couple clips that you can release with a flathead through the vents.

Piece of pie!

Silver, where did you order the radio door from and how much was it?

I think I have seen them on eBay before.
