Default How do I remove this?

There is a slight rattle (buzz) that comes from this piece. If I press on the piece it quits until obviously I let go. I tried to get it off to see what was behind it but I thought I was going to break it. Does anyone know how to pull it off? Thanks.

If its held on by the same things as the door trim is held on by... then you will need to get the whole dash piece off, that the trim is attached to... and work it from behind. IF they are held on by the same things as the doors... you'll have no chance in hell of prying it off -- without damaging it.

It is like a post on the back of that trim... that sticks through a hole in the dash... and then these things go over the post like this: _/|\_

The post is in the middle there... lol, obviously not to scale. If you were to try to pull the trim out (down, if youre looking at my diagram) the thing would just cut into the post, and possibly break the post off.

Pop off your door skin, if you like... take a gander. Door skin is easy, just remember the screws under the door handle! lol

the way i would go about it would be to get a flat head screwdriver with a big head on it or better yet a panel popper if you happen to have one and then put a cloth peice of some sort over the head of it and very easely start to try and pop it off. headshok was right it should just pop off. i don't believe it is the same poppers that are on your door bur something similar. and also i would start near the steering wheel so if it does happen to crack or you slip and scratch it then it will not be as visible

I actually said the opposite... thanks though! :P

IF they are the same as the doors, then NO, they will NOT just pop off. If they're different, then all the power to you. Thinking about it though, It'd be stupid if they were the same as the doors... so who knows.
