Removing VW Polo Centre Trim Help!!

[Homershairdo]

Hi,

I've got an 02 Polo, which I love except for one thing - the centre trim / console (which holds the radio / air vents) is scratched to hell. I've sourced a new one, but I have no idea how to remove the existing one. Does anyone have any idea how to do it. I'm reluctant to get a haynes for this one off job - £20 is a lot of cash!

Thanks in advance!!

Ian

can you not tell by looking at the new one? it must have some fixing points somewhere.
if you really need a manual then try your local libraray, or maybe find a cheap one on ebay?

i would goto a scrap yard and practice there

I would suggest starting with the radio out, make sure you have the code for it.

I did a console on a 98 Polo and it was difficult, if I remember the top was held in with some tight metal clips, but this had probably changed by 2002.

The Haynes may well be useful for other things in the future, and it's cheaper than paying someone £50 an hour :beer:
