If its the trim ring you are talking about. It should just pop off. You might have to pull or pry some, but not much holding it on.

Under there, you will find a small blue button with the word "Search" written on it.....

Oh wait, never mind! There's one at the top right of your screen!

Kindly use it.

Thanks.

I assume he's talking about the silver trim piece around the radio and heater controls? If so, what should he search for? I ran a quick search to see if I could help him and found a post were you said you(hihoslva) didn't even know how to remove it. So what would you suggest? It's not like he asked about the best intake/exhaust combo out!

Sorry bro, I don't know how to remove it, if that's what you need. :rolleyes:

The door handles are attached to the actuator rods with a small clip. Get the screws out, then pull the handle like you are going to open the door - the handle & cup should come partway out of the opening.

maybe if i wanted to remove the door handles ur post would have been helpful..:rolleyes:

maybe u didn't see the pic i posted

thanks to the ppl who useful things:)

And maybe if you would have read my ENTIRE post linked above, you'd have seen this:

For the radio surround, you need to disconnect the HVAC cables under the dash before pulling the trim completely out. There's a little tab on the "post" on each side - squeeze the tab, and pull the cable ring off the post, then remove the cable from the clip. You should then be able to pull the trim out far enough to disconnect the wiring harnesses for the HVAC and the hazard switch - these parts are attachd to the trim, so they come out with it and need to be removed afterwards (a few screws - no big deal). Take note of the routing of the cables, so you can put it all back together properly. Here are the cable connections, passenger side first (don't mind the wires and twist tie in the second pic - that's my own stereo crap or something):

This topic has been beaten to death - a 5 minute search would have turned up that info plus a lot more. I even linked it for you - but you didn't even read the whole post.
