Legacy51 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I searched to no avail. Can anyone help me remove all the wood trim in my Legacy? Is there a tutorial somewhere? Or if there is already a thread pls point me in the right direction. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The dash pieces pop off, use a flathead screwdriver gently and they'll come off. A word of caution, the center radio pieces are screwed in near the cupholders. Take the ashtray out and lift out the chrome center ring from the shifter and pull the ashtray section back and up(in the direction of the rear dome light) and you can remove the whole center piece (going from the hvac controls to the black cup holder section), then you'll see where the trim is screwed in. the door wood piece are mended on there, aka plastic welded, so they won't come off unless you take the door panels off and melt the plastic tabs to get them off.

joedirtae09 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Theres an old thread some where on here, you just gotta word it right on the search. From what I remember... all the wood pieces except the trim by the handles on the doors come right off with a little bit of tug, apply as much force as needed. As for the trim on the doors, I think it said you have to take apart the door because those pieces are glued on from the inside. I need to get around to doing this also!

Legacy51 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Let's take this a step further, anyone interested in swapping wood grain trim for the silver? I tried a 3m black matte vinyl adhesive but it's just not in my skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimboy1993 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I know this post is a little outdated, but I have silver trim and would love wood-grained trim..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
