Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea as how to remove the
trim from the flap that covers the radio?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

I understood perfectly. You have to get the damn radio out before you can
access the "flap" attachment points.

you can use a dremel tool and revome the tabs on the back, then pry the trim
off -- you can glue the replacement piece back in place
