Evening all,

 

Has anyone got any experience of removing the trim behind the rear view mirror, its on a mk3 FL. I have looked at a few threads about this buy everyone else's looks different

 

I have tried popping it off but it feels very securely fitted and I don't want to break any clips etc.

 

I have got a new dash cam for xmas and want to install it. However it looks like the previous owner didn't have a nextbase cam, so i have had to buy the little adapter that you can see to fit my nextbase.

 

Before installing i also want to move the cable to the other side so the dashcam sits behind the mirror on the passenger side out of my line of sight, hence the reason for removing the panel to re route the cable

 

Can anyone shed any light as the best way to get this off?

 

 

Hi , does this thread help ?

 

Cheers

Sort of, i did see that thread when searching. It does show some clip positions in the last picture but no explanation of the best way to release it. As the OP in that thread states, its on there so solidly i feel like I'm going to break something trying to remove it

careful on fitting behind the mirror on passenger side, there is a sensor there, i suspect used for detecting light

Wasn't aware of this, i'll have a look when I'm next in the car. That may solve my problem by making it non existent.
