Removal of basel

[lamothe1]

How do you remove the plastic Basel that goes around the Radio, Heater & A/C vents on a '99 Mustang? I thought that it just pops out like the one around the lighter, but i've tried prying it out and it doen't seam to want to come and i'm afraid if i pry to hard it might brake. thanks

Ahh...you mean "Bezel".Good you asked because I broke mine..and I was tryin to be careful.

First you have to pull the radio.If you havn't allready,go to your local parts store and get the 2 -U- shaped tools for removing the radio.They fit in the 2 sets of holes on the radio front.Push in until it clicks then pull radio out.

Now,behind the radio there's a longer piece of plastic that goes to the far back.Theres a hex screw in there that holds the bezel in (thats where I goofed).Get the screw off and then carefully pry at the top portion of the bezel.Just above the vents.It locks into place up there.
