Can anyone tell me how to do this? I need to re-fasten the trim around the edges...


p.s. I did try searching but couldn't find a useful thread!

Pod is held on by a wing nut near the front on each side of the pod. You probably will have to shift/remove the trim below the steering column first, which is normally just held by Velcro, and feel around a bit. It is a bit awkward but doable. I just managed without having small hands or hiring my little cousin to do it.

Two fasteners, one above the heating controls the other in the same place but over the other side. You need to get on your knees and feel up under the dash, should be a couple of butterfly catches.

Some of the leather trim has come unstuck from underneath the cowl at the edge and hangs down obscuring part of the instrument pod. I've tried re-sticking it in situ, but it didn't work, so I'm going to have to get serious with it! Don't really want to do that with it still fixed in.

This has happen to mine also, could you let me know what technique you use; glue, staples...chewing gum.

Thanks
