    yeah follow the tech article as ed300zx said, its pretty easy to get out. having done it a couple times myself i can now have it pulled in 20minutes:D

    Give the rings a quick polish with some Silvo, will really make them sparkle. As far as gluing them in go for some 5 minute Araldite. Originally I used superglue but after about 4 months one came free so I just redid the lot.

    Enjoy, they transform the look of the dash.
    cheers, tim

    Take your time with them

    I had John at Cresta put mine on to a fresh cover, so it could sit and dry properly. Don't be tempted to put it all back together 10 minutes after you've glued them on - let them set overnight if you can and put it back together the next day.

    Here's mine! :D
