Help: Need Info on Removing the Center Panel - Toyota Yaris Forums

johnnycakes · 03-21-2009, 05:35 PM

I bought my Yaris used and I don't like the color of the Panel. Red = yuck.
I also need to get at the radio harness.

I'm sure there is a thread for this already, I wasn't able to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. <3

The little piece below the red comes off first. Pull on either side of it.
The two pieces on the right and the left side of the red come off next. Use both hands, one toward the top, one toward the bottom and pull out firmly.
Then above the red, the part that is level to the ground and also surrounds the console gauges comes next. Pull toward yourself.
Then the top piece of red is next. You'll need to unplug the 4-way flashers from behind before it lets go.
And last, the bottom piece of red. You'll need a small flat head screw driver to remove the knobs from behind.

The two red pieces will be the hardest to get off but all the parts just snap out and back in. Reverse the procedure to get everything back in. Good luck!
