Could someone help me to figure out why I could not
be able to remove the black center dash trim on my 02 tl-p ?
At the climate control level , it's soooo tight that I could not
remove the trim , any screw or clip ?
Will apreciate your help guys ................

 

Are you talking about the two blackwood/burlwood pieces that go up the sides of the center console?

If so, open the center console lid and start there. Pull straight up on the trim piece on that end and then slowly pull it straight up as it will release from the center console.

 

No , I'm talking about the upper black trim that run from the driver's intrument
to the center ventilation outlet .....

 

there's two screws right above the instrument panel. Other than that, i believe it's a straight pull out. It'll take some strength but be careful not to force it because the trim can bend, break.

 

I did remove two screws above the instrument panel and start to pull the upper part out
but for some reason the part at the climate control level stay solid and does not want
to move ....... If I force it the trim might break .....Are you sure there is no other screws then
2 screws above instrument ??????Thanks

 

yup that is it. take your time and start nudging from one side to the other.

 

Just take a flat head screwdriver and stick it between the bezel (above the air vent) and the padded dash, push the screwdriver upwards slowly and it should begin to pop out.

 

it just pulls out. Give it a good tug and it will pop out

 

Thanks guys ... I will try not to break it .
