Ok, so I've armed myself with a panel removal kit, and I've ordered my glass switch kit.


I'm pretty sure I can replace the glass switches for the glove box and the dash. However, how is the seat recline button removed?


Thanks in advance.

One of the UK guys (Tony Hall IIRC) just broke up the old ones from the front to save dismantling the seat in any way

 

Thanks mikey k, I understand.


I'll have extra plastic console switches if anyone is interested.

 

Thanks for the info. These were installed. They look marvelous!

 

I drill a hole through the face, thread a screw and pull like ****. Metal tabs break off and switch comes out..then just fish out the metal tabs

 

I didn't take such an aggressive approach to getting em out, but I used a dremel to cut the switch face out. I used a more delicate approach which entailed simply cutting the housing part until it came out with minimal effort.


From what I'm hearing, though, simply pushing them inward with a 17mm socket is the way to get them out quickly.


Next up is the window surround....

 

You guys rock, took me 2 minutes and done. Many thanks. Came out so easily.

 

My car came with the glass switches and I really like them. I think it makes a big difference in the overall look of the interior.. It's not just the facia and seats. Also the glove box and even the fuel release button. Alright the last one is overkill since you can't even see it!

 

How about some pictures?

 

These are the glass switches in my car, less the glove box. I was wrong about the fuel button. It's plastic.

 

See this thread for my switches.
