Paint cup holder trim

How did you reattach after drilling out the welds?

 

Real or Fake, I too dont like the look. Doesn’t match anything in the cab...looks too after market for my taste. Need a more subtle design.

 

I pulled it apart. If you remove it and flip it over there are a few plastic pieces that are melted to hold in place. I used my dremel and ground them down. It popped right out then. After painting I used some glue and put it back together.

 

I glued it in. If the glue doesn’t holdup then I will use JB weld. I believe the glue will do just fine though.

 

Sure. Everyone's got their own taste. Just wanted to add the tidbit of info that they are functional. If you add more of the AJT stuff, such as the climate control knobs, then it will match some.

 

That is super helpful but I meant these pillars here. It looks like you painted those also.

 

Still hideous silver. Those are next. You have to remove the entire dashboard for that piece. I watched a video on this forums on how to do it.

 

Gotcha, that was my understanding also, which is a huge bummer

 

There are some plastic welds underneath that you have to break off with a chisel or knife. After painting or Plastisip and it's back in place, epoxy on the welds keep it in place.

here is my little pictoral of it as well as a few follow up posts below showing the welds and install.

Yep. This is the process I used after watching your thread. With the exception I used a dremel to lightly grind those.

 

Yes I did Paint them. I painted all the chrome and silver inside. It was not hard at all just take your time doing it.

 

How did you handle the chrome trim rings around the vents and knobs? Can the be removed or did you tape them off?

 

They can be removed from the actual cash trim.

 

Any details on their removal is much appreciated. Are they glued or anything or do they just pop off when you pull the vent out?

 

they just pop off. use a trim removal tool and pop the dash piece off the left side of steering wheel, you will see what i mean.
