L322 lower dash trim removal

Patricia7 · Aug 18, 2021

Hi all,
Anyone give me hints on how to remove the lower trim on the dash as i'm changing trim colour. After that i will be stripping the donor car for parts or selling it complete. It's a 2003 plate 3.0l vogue diesel. Engine is good but gearbox fault stopping it from starting.
TIA
Dave

No, i bought a donor car so i can swap the trim over as dodor is mint then I might dispose of donor or keep it for parts next time mine goes wrong

Then no need to mention selling, nor it's selling points.
Check RAVE for stripping.

Can get them over the weekend, basically it's the leather colour coded panels under column and right along the dash

Just keep a small box to hand for all the screws you have left over when you've put it all back together, I only took the glove box out and I've got half a dozen

Don't get a job fixing aeroplanes

Probably easier than fixing an L322

And cheaper.

Screws everywhere spookily they are all the same too.

@Patricia7.

This was my temp glovebox latch solution 2 years ago, glovebox only drops open on very rough roads, and the wifes knees prevent any damage to the hinges

The new trim from the donor is an off white and stuff i'm taking out is more of a beige. Not much difference but enough that i have to change everything.
