Stereo trim removal issue

Dec 15, 2004 2 Replies

Last night I removed the trim from around the stereo in my '02. Not thinking ahead, I simply used a screwdriver and created several indentations in the vinyl dash where I was prying.



Does any know of a way to remove or smooth over these indentations? I was hoping that since the dash had some give to it, that they would simply work themselves out -- apparently not the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.



Give it more time. I did the same thing on my 92 and then forgot about it for several months. Next time I paid attention to the "dents" they were gone.

Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." -- Debate, U.S. House of Representatives, August 17, 1789

You might try to gently (GENTLY) apply some hot air from a hair dryer to see if you can soften up the vinyl enough to massage it back into shape. I got this tool (scroll down a little):
