Default Question re: HUD bezel

Gents

Just bought an 02 Z06 last week (thx SuzukiDan7). Need to replace the HUD bezel, as the existing one's cracked. Do I just pull out the old one, and press in the new one, or is it more complicated than that?

Thx very much...
Bo

Dash removal, it has 4 steel 'washer/retainers' behind it

they are cracking by the 100's in the warm states, especially the black cars

I've got new GM HUD bezels in stock $49 shipped

I'd say it's a 3 or 4 'skill level' project; gotta keep these 50k(when new) cars looking sharp

Alright, since the 'HUD' word came up, I lost the sliding switch ****, and can't find a replacement anywhere. I only need the ****, not the entire switch. Sissy question, I know, but.........Any thoughts other than just live with it?

take a button from the right side switch and cut it into the shape of the slider, you can buy them for 10 bucks used or cheaper

there are about 5,000 C5's with missing HUD buttons, WAG on this one
