Dashboard tray removal

Post by neillr »

Trying to remove the centre tray on top of the dashboard to run a cable. I can get it partially lifted but not right out. Any tips?

Hi, welcome to the forum.
The top tray has two spring clips on the side further from the windscreen. You'll need apair of 2mm Allen keys or similar.

Greetings neillr, the dash tray is quite a tight fit with them metal clips at the front, back and sides in order to remove it, however what I did was to use some thin cutlery/eating knives to prize the clips inwards and pulling upwards on the tray. It goes without saying to be careful not to damage the surrounding plastic whilst doing it this way. Better still if you have plastic trim removal tools to use them instead. Good luck.
