Help me fix this.

[Mchang]

It started raining last night and I happened to slip and knee my mirror adjustment button, which popped inward. Can someone please guide me how to fix this?

Looks like you're going to have to pop out that switch and see if anything behind cracked? See if you can slide something thin between the switch and the panel and pry it out, like a credit card or plastic trim removal tool.

Hopefully you can snap the switch back together once you have it out...if not this is nothing a new switch couldn't fix

So I should take a credit card and try to pry the black trim piece around the actual switch?

I think that would be the only way you can get it out without taking the entire panel out and pushing the switch out from behind. Obviously don't pry too hard, if it won't come out easily then you might have to push it out from behind

Nah!

That panel pulls off so easily- just pull HARD towards yourself and it will come off. Then you can access the switch from behind.

Looks likes the switch halves separated and need to be snapped back together.

Hey antman! Is the whole light Grey panel one piece or is there a top half and a bottom half where the crack is?

That top piece is separate where the switches are. Right hand goes behind the panel, in the hole where the steering wheel is, and your left hand kind of pulls the panel towards you on the left edge. It comes off pretty easy.

Thank you much! I'll try it out later today and let you know how it goes. Hopefully I didn't snap and plastic pieces :X

Actually pull slightly towards the door to get it off - otherwise Mr. Ant got it right. :thumb3:

No problem- I doubt it's broken- just more like "apart". Lol

Good luck!

How dare you correct me?! Don't make me come up there Dave. Ha!

 

[phillyd2]

No need to dermal or take your gauges out but this should give you some idea.

Think of it as amplification instead of a correction. :hello:

Glad to see it DOES come out without removing the other panels. I could've sworn it was like that but I couldn't remember positively so I didn't want to point OP in the wrong direction.

This is how my interior looked like when I pulled out this panel in question, hence why I had no clue what order the panels come out, lol.

 

[Mchang]

Thank you guys so much! This literally took me 30 seconds to fix with the help everyone provided!

Not hijacking the thread, just an observation - seeing how the dash panels are put together I am amazed there are no squeaks and rattles in these things.

Carry on.
