Graeme Cole Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 What is the best way to both replace those annoying dashboard pull knobs in the centre consul? I had to break apart the interior light one , I have replacements for the tatty four others but dont know the best wat to remove them, as it took a lot of force for the interior light one that was removed from the car for the process. Also the replacement interior light one now doesnt want to stay on even with weak glue. Do I have to Araldite it on with the same problems if I need to remove it in the future. Any suggestions would be greatly received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinky Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 easy one, underneath the switch is a small hole, put a thin rod in the hole, and pull the switch of pink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iani Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Even pushing the pin in you might find it take a lot of effort to remove the knobs. Once you have removed the knob, check its length against the replacement, you might find you need to shorten the new knob length to get the pin to fit in the hole.

Steves_TR6 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I also had to enlarge the holes in the new knobs to get the pins to engage and lock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRseks Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 When I replaced mine I had to cut into them and destroy them to get them off as they were stuck really good, no problems with pushing in the new ones though. Magnus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
