speedometer bezel install
speedometer bezel install I took my speedometer bezel off to change out the foglight switch in my trans am and while it was off decided to do some interior painting. The speedo bezel didnt come out easy- so now when i try to put it back in, i cant seem to without scuffing the paint all up. Its mainly the tilt lever in the way. To the guys who have done this-- Is there something im missing, a trick to getting this thing back in without scraping it all up??
On the backside, on the bottom, there are 3 screw like thingies. I took those off before putting it back on, then with it popped in, I just screwd them back on. Was waayyy simpler to install without jacking up the paint.
Lower your steering wheel all the way down. Lower the bezel with the left corner down at about 45 degrees. Use your chin to hold the steering wheel down, hold the bezel with right hand and use left hand to pull tilt lever. Set bezel loosely in place, release tilt lever keeping the steering wheel down. Adjust the placement of bezel so posts fit into guide holes and clips line up with their holes and push bezel back into place. I've done it a dozen times and haven't messed up any paint this way.
