Stereo trim removal issue
Last night I removed the trim from around the stereo in my '02. Not
thinking ahead, I simply used a screwdriver and created several indentations in the vinyl dash where I was prying. Does any know of a way to remove or smooth over these indentations? I was hoping that since the dash had some give to it, that they would simply work themselves out -- apparently not the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I did the same thing on my 92 and then forgot about it for several months. Next time I paid attention to the "dents" they were gone. -- Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts: "What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . .

You might try to gently (GENTLY) apply some hot air from a hair dryer to see
if you can soften up the vinyl enough to massage it back into shape. I got this tool (scroll down a little): http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/dealers/specialtytools.html Also, I guess it's too late to show you this page: http://s88853021.onlinehome.us/explorer/radiobezel.html but it looks like it might have helped you....before. dave "tmy13" > wrote in message oups.com... > Last night I removed the trim from around the stereo in my '02.
