it come off w/o damaging it and how do you mount it back on?
Glue perhaps?, I don't see any screws...
All the other trim exchange appears to be pretty straight-forward, just wonderin' about those two pieces.
Thanks in advance for any input

Default maybe when you're done you can elaborate a little on the ashtray trim removal

thats the only one that i'm really skeptical about.

what trim are you switching to?

Default It really is just a matter of pulling the trim straight out and rather hard to elaborate more...

I had my thumbs on the underside of the assembly and did what one'd do when rolling a piece of paper into a straw, only in reverse with some force.

I'm guessing when he said BA, it's brushed aluminum?

Default For the rear ashtray...

Does the trim swap include the complete ashtray assembly?
The link you forwarded does not elaborate and almost indicates that the assembly just swaps.

Inspecting the rear ashtray, the trim appears to be glue in.
Don't want to bust-up anything. Is this right?
