im just wondering whether ive been heavy handed or is this is a fault other people have came across,

basically whilst trying to remove the excess amounts of silocone spray coated all over my dash by the local dealer i went to pull the small panel off (i think its where the diagnostics port is) and the clips snapped and stayed attached to the car and the pannel came off! :bang:

ive fixed the clips with some good old super glue but i just wondered if anyone else had came across this!, ill try get a pic up

cheers

heres a pic anyway

So going off topic, did you use food dye to change the colour of your seats. I have done the steering wheel and hand brake stitching and was wondering about the seats and door trims.

its fairly common for the clips to snap off (usually the dealers do it when they plug the car in at service time )


one tip T suggests is when you have it out apply a smear of grease to each peg so it makes removal in future much easier

thats not my car its just off google, as far as i know it wouldn't be possible, you would need sh*t loads of food dye and it would be near impossible to get it even :bang:
