Superb sunglass holder removal and replacement

Featured Replies

Good day,

Just joined the forum,

I have purchased a new replacement sunglass holder for my 2019 Superb, I can find the two rear screws under the mic, it looks like the front interior switches and lights need to pop out, so I can get to the two front screws, any tips without damaging the unit??

Do not use screwdrivers to open anything except screws. Use plastic cards or flat sticks.

This above!

In any autoparts shop or bricolage you can get an inexpensive "interior trim tool kit" which comes with various sizes and shapes plastic and metal trim tools. Metal use them only for large surfaces where you can apply leverage evenly and "forcibly", like for example a door panel.

If you are unable to secure any of that, a screwdriver could suffice provided that:

  • you choose one of the right size for the area you need to lever - too big, or too small, will only damage the area you are working on. If you have an old blut one, the better, you do not need the edge. I have one from my grampa must be like 50 years old and is perfect for these tasks 😊

  • wrap it around in something that can protect the plastic surface from the metal, that is insulating tape, paper tape - the type used by bodywork/paint, and the like. Don't use scotch tape as it rips and the metal scratches, don't put too much otherwise you loose the "feel" of the leverage applied

  • whatever you do, slowly and methodically be very very very careful! If you have the paper bodywork tape, my favorite, you can also tape the adjacent areas where you are working, lest you were to "slip" you might be able to save the area from scratching.

I have used many times the method above, but you always know you are in the "risk area".

Again, these tips are only secondary to get the rght instrument to get the right job. Do it right, do it once! 😉
