Drivers Knee Panel, Am I Alone On This ??
I've has the panel off probably 4 or 5 times over the years and what a pain in the butt it is to get back on.
That crazy temp sensor is the goofiest setup.....I tell ya, every time I finally get that thing back in it's pure blind luck. Mind you, I'm not removing the stereo surround so I suppose it makes things that much tougher.
On an upside, just installed the hyperflash correction relay for my Black Cherry LED tails and that relay is a no-brainer to install. That d**mn panel however..........

Its a breeze when the bezel is removed Mike
But that doesn't make you feel any better huh?
With the bezel in place its a real PITA and I think I have a damaged clip just like yours
BTW I'd never get away with hyperflashing in England.

I've done a few in the last month and always seem to have that one darn nut plate at the bottom near the center console pop off! Boy can that be a pain to get back on and lined up so that screw goes back in!!

I don't know why but it did.....particularly with the headlights on and the brake pedal at a turn. Ah well, already broke one of the clips on the vented cover( a tiny piece of 3M tape solves that one). Yep, that lower nut plate is fun rpm...........Bezel off is a breeze as DEE GEE says but didn't want to do the whole disassemble from back to front thing....
