    Blank off plates in dash

    Hi guys.

    I have an 05 st and I'm trying to work out how to pull the blank off plate out of the dash. The panel I'm trying to remove is on the right hand side of the steering wheel beside the dash instrument light dimmer.

    I have tried gently prying it out without any success. I know my old GQ the panels used to just pop out but I can't see how these come out or is there a special way to do it.

    Have you downloaded the GU manual yet? It would probably tell you in there, I have the manual on my lappy somewhere if you don't want to download it and need me to look it up.

    Cheers

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    undo the panel underneath, reach up behind and you wiggle the clip free by hand - no other tools needed - that's what I did to change mine over

    confusion, a GU owner with a forum name maverick01 :-)

    Then again, I'm easily confusededed these days ;-)

    I might have to get a few disposable blue ovals, maybe laminated paper, and get busy with blue tack or something :-)

    And some red Maverick badges to match :-)

    Back to the topic - I hope you get that panel out safely. After many years and a few owners, the challenge with Silver is keeping the blighters in :-)

    I noticed that a nasty stone attacked my blue oval at some stage :-( Happily the damage is confined to a few mm at one end.

    Long story short. But the first car I ever owned was a swb maverick hence the username also everyone has always called me this so I guess it has just stuck
