heads up bezel
the black bezel around my heads up display on the top of the dash is cracked and should be replaced. Does anyone know if it just pops out and where is the best source for a new one. Thanks

This thread mentions where to get one. If I "remember" correctly, the dash pad has to be pulled.

Just recently replaced mine for the same reason.
I tried pulling on it thinking it would slide off and it crumbled in my hand like a cookie
The pad has to come off, no way around that.
you may be able to search on a how to take the pad apart, it's a 30 minute job for someone that knows what they are doing.
Basically the radio surround, the glovebox, the center console, the 2 A pillars, and a lot of bolts have to come off.
It would be a good time to replace your Hazard switch too if it's acting up.

I think forum member Steve Doten sells them. Also contact Gene at gmpartshouse.com.
