Default 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.

The shipping would be expensive. It's not an expensive part. I ordered mine from the local dealer and had it the next day. No shipping

Thanks people, I think it will stay cracked. Good grief; what a nightmare to replace.

Mine is cracked and I have had the replacement for over a year....just don't want to pull the dash apart. Electrical tape over the crack has become permenant.
