Clubby dash trim

If it's a Clubman Van, I take it your from Australia? Or do you have a Mini Clubman Estate?

Taffy,

It is an Australian panel van. I've had a thought overnight that the demister vents probably unscrew.

Hi Graham, the top rail should come off with a bit of pushing and banging with your hand, providing all the nuts have been removed, and its is not normally held by the screws retaining the screen vents, make sure the ashtray is completely removed though,, (If fitted) Fitzy

There only seems to be 2 nuts holding it. I'll just have to get more physical as you say. Thanks.

Is there a nut in the middle behind the ashtray?

Is there a nut in the middle behind the ashtray?

I agree with Jo. My mini has three nuts on threaded studs that hold the panel in place. One either side above the air vents, (it is easier if you undo the four screws that hold the air vent in place and remove it before hand), and one in the centre behind the ashtray. Once these are undone it just takes a little persuasion to remove the panel, although the centre stud can become a tight fit against the bodywork.

Hope this helps

Thanks, fellas. I couldn't see another stud but I'll have a harder look now that there might be another one. There is certainly something holding it. The air vents seem to be held by self tapping screws coming down from the top. I can see their ends below but not their heads from above so the grilles are covering them.
