My radio/climate control bezel is cracked and want to replace it.

Do I just pop it out with a flat head screw driver or is there something else I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

I use a butter knife to remove the bezel on my 02 xlt. Start at the upper left corner and then the lower right. It is real easy to remove. Good luck.
 






Update? Were you able to get it off?

No not yet.

It seems I have to remove the radio before I can remove the bezel.

I called the dealer and they quoted me $160 for a new bezel so I decided to wait.

Thanks for your help and posting a reply.
 






Theres 2 screws above the heat/ac controls you have to remove first, then it will pull right off with some light prying, you dont have to remove your radio, thats how I got around using those "U" clips to get my stock radio out so I didnt have to dig for the U things lol
 






Favila,

Is it just a black bezel, or the silver Sport bezel? 2wd/4wd, do you have all of the buttons on the right like mine?
I can get one for you at the yard tomorrow if you want...

See here (the two screws are above the HVAC knobs)

Sorry for the misinformation. I just noticed you have the sport. Sorry!
