Trying to install a new radio..already got a new center trim piece for a double din unit and cant figure out how to get the old one off without breaking it...any suggestions?

 

i have the same problem have you found anything out ????

 

Im curious about the same thing where did you guys get you new 2 din bezel the only place i have found it was at the dealer for like $160 any other places i can find it?

 

Just replaced factory radio with double din . . you have to pry very carefully beginning at the lower edge (glove box side) . I did it with some plastic pry tools I got at Harbor Frieght. About 6-8 plastic clips hold it no crews . . once you get one loose it gets easier and less scary. .

 

thanks mike i will try it, just hope i dont break it. I will go slow

 

ok so i tried it and it would not budge i am worried that i will break it god only knows how much they cost to replace

 

Yea I know . . they are around $160 to replace. When I removed mine I started at the lower right as it seemed to be alot more sturdy or the plastic was heavier. Once you get just one corner a little bit up . . move
another 2 inches and pry . .then another working your way all around. Its tougher than you think believe me. The only way you'll break it is if you pry up one corner and try to pull it completely off from that one corner. Good luck

 

ok thanks mike.

yeah thats the last thing i want to do it break it.

i will try it out i will go slow and do what you have said.

thanks again for the info and help very much appreciated

 

Mine is an 06 and had 2 screws at the bottom that needed to be removed first before you could pop off the clips. Maybe check for these? They are a pain to get to, but I just left them put when I put everything back together so i don't have to worry about them anymore.
