<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/122664/img_8356.jpg"></center><p>Well, if you fellas recall, just last week I chronicled my search to replace the "worn" components of my interior. For those who missed the posts, I sought a headlight/foglight switch, the coin tray, the ESP button, and the hazard button, all of which had fairly considerable wear and annoyed the sh*t out of me. So, I contacted Clair and spoke with the ubiquitous Barry. To make a long story shorter, I placed the order, which was not cheap (see subject line), and I received the items in a mere matter of days (the service was excellent, by the way).

Well, as you can see the parts are ready to go, but here's where you come in. I don't know how to replace them (aside from my natural inclination to just tug and yank). I know there are special "hooks" for Audi radio equipment, but by the looks of them they are not designed to effect removal of smaller interior parts like the ones I'm dealing with.

Can anyone provide some guidance as to how to proceed? Do I need special tools, etc.? Essentially, how do I replace the parts?

Check out the pictures, and you may be able to see that there are little, sort of, clips, but they really do seem as though they may slide in and out with a little force. Altough I would be sick if I damaged the parts. I am not spending another $30 on an 1.5" x 1.5" ESP button!

If I successfully get these parts replaced, all I'll need to be satisfied (with the interior) is a replacement Symphony II (worn preset buttons). Anybody have one for sale? ;-)

Thanks again, fellas. All of your advice and guidance is appreciated and put to good use.

buy a Bentley repair manual. Maybe figure something out on your own so you can contribute too;-)<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1039083.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1039083.phtml</a</li></ul>

Pull n plug.....

I told you the last time, if people want to respond they will. Sometimes, to figure something out like replacing 4 different parts, it is easier to get one singular response from someone with the knowledge.

It's easy to be a tough guy when you're sitting at your computer! ;-) Right?

You do your own leg work. Oh, and you are welcome.

But you wasted your not-so-valuable time STFA for me, and putting together a response, albeit meager and unpersuasive, when you could have just ignored it.

So, when you asked: "Why would I waste my time for something that's already been covered?" You just voluntarily "wasted" your time when you were not so obliged. So, please, just let it go... If people want to be friendly and helpful, they will. And I will be grateful. If they are not so inclined, the mature ones, unlike yourself, will click past and say to THEMSELVES, "this guy needs to learn how to STFA." And I'll eventually catch on...if that is the case.
