I just received my Guards Red radio surround from Eric at BP and will install myself. In looking at the new one it seems like there's a series of integral clips and maybe some frictional fit items. before I destroy anything getting the old one off, any tips from someone who has done it before? It is U-shaped and goes around central vents and then down both sides of radio area. Thanks in advance!

 

It comes off pretty easy... The hardest part is getting out the Cig lighter recp. It takes a lot of pressure and most think they it will break if they apply the required pressure to pop it out.

 

Gary, do you need to remove switches and etc. or does it fit around them?

 

Everything pops out of the old one and is moved to the new one. You will see as you pull off the old one.

Renntech should have the instructions...

The cig lighter is tough...

 

Use light pressure and put electricle tape over all tools use so you dont scratch anything. If you need a hand email me and Ill swing by.

 

Operation was a success! Thanks for the advice. There's 2 pictures to look at here or maybe someone can drag them into the thread (b/c I'm too computer handicapped myself):

PS: Actual color is true Guards Red like the outside. GR always seems to photo very orangy.
