Zebrano trim

Post by 300TDT »

I now have all the parts to replace my Zebrano :love:

Some are straightforward, some not.

Does anyone know of a good online resource (Youtube, Ozbenz, etc) for guidance?

e.g. I have to remove the old Zebrano from the heater control unit and attach the new one... how? And, for the dashboard pieces, there are metal brackets on the back that attach through slots in the dash... how??

Any ideas much appreciated!

Remove the glovebox lining to access the back of the center section

Thanks John.
And the instrument cluster for the other side?

Forgot yours is LHD. The RHD version dosn't have any timber to the right of the cluster. Yes, it you pull the cluster you will get access. There is a tool to get the cluster out.

Thanks.
Yes, LHD has 4 pieces of Zebrano along the dash.
I have the tools to get out the instrument cluster but find it easier just to push it out from under the dash.

That's a spiffy piece of Zebrano. Could you recommend the source?
