Its has plastic grommets that are pressed into the panel. Very difficult to remove without snapping off, unfortunately.
Remove everything from under the dash. ie centre consol, glovebox etc, stick you head under and try and press them out from behind. Mos people force a flat screwdriver in under them and they always break. Then they stick them back on with db-sided tape. ![]() |
