Default How to remove AU Sunglasses holder piece?

G'day all,

Now, my wagon's sunglasses holder, the piece that contains the sunnies, was broken years ago and lost. There's a car that has an intact one, and I'd be keen to grab just that piece if I can remove and install it into my wagon without dropping the roof lining etc to get the whole unit out.

Wondered if anyone has done this before, and/or has any tips for me?

Thanks,

Unfortunately not possible without dropping roof lining.

Easy. Will take you all of 2 minutes. From memory, the 'hatch' or whatever you call it that drops down is only held in by two clips, which you can press in or something at the hinge point. I have done it multiple times. I don't even think there are any screws.
Just have a butchers at it, it becomes pretty self-evident pretty quickly iirc.

When you remove the good drop down section be careful not to break the hinges
otherwise you will be back where you started with a broken holder

Found myself an intact one, and yep, easy to pull out without damage, and it lives in the wagon now!
Cheers guys!
