Default 2010 LTZ Woodgrain dash strips

What is involved in removing the factory woodgrain pieces ?? Do you have to pull the whole dash ??

No they are hust held on with clips. Start by the steering wheel and pry them off gently as to not break any of the clips.

"Clips " that always break ... having never removed the trim .....these clips are they part of the woodgrain trim piece like a tab or are they part of the dash body and required to reinstall the trim ??

Get a trim removal tool. They are a few bucks and makes it a lot easier and will put the pressure in the right spot so you don't break clips.


Something like this is what I have
