    Angry switch cover removal

    Been a while since i've been on here. Taking the 2011 RT SE 5 apart for cleaning and painting the black plastic. I have not figured out how to remove the plastic peice around the rocker switches. I have the sides loose bolt in the middle by glove box I have 1 keeper can't figure out how to get it loose. Any help would be appriciated. Looking at the expolded view of parts shows a keeper but not sure how to get to it.

    I believe that you need something called a "Carling tool"...

    I used a couple of really small screwdrivers, and really just messed things up.

    with using the tools mentioned ..... However removing the surrounding panel isn't easy and requires a lot of Tupperware to be removed first ...... good luck .... Mike

    This thread may help

    Unfortunately the phots are not available but message Doc Riverside and he may be able to e mail a copy of them to you

    The glove box removal to gain access to the switches is covered in the workshop manual and a CD copy can be purchased Via e bay, Well worth getting one if you intend to do a lot of your own work on your a Spyder

    You need to take the entire glove box assembly off and then take it apart. There are screws down under it and kind of deep to get to.
