Default finished installing my interior belt-line trim. (bww)

here's a <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2072477.phtml">link to my progress post</a>, but here are the results. it took about 7 hours from start to finish to remove all the old trim and reinstall the new trim, then put everything back together. The longest part? you guessed it, the climate control removal. Thanks MarkP for a <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/512854.phtml">great writeup</a> (if you're lurking around) on removing that sucker. The doors were easy, the dash was the hardest part. The results:

just getting started (needs a wash)

Default I could take it off, but it's a pain to put back on.

It looks as if the three pins holding it in are bondo'd/epoxied on there. I just left em on there, it looks good.

I'd get a close-up, but I need to do a little touch-up work around there.

Default Yeah, the car is filthy.

I hope I get a chance to clean her up this weekend. I've gotta get a vacuum and a shampooer in there.

Default thanks!

there are three "pins" holding it in place, then a bondo patch holding each pin intact. You could dremel them off and it'd come out.
