Cigarette lighter removal?

It's held in by sprung clips each side Carl. No screws etc.
On mine, I had to remove the CC controller and the switch panel. That allowed me to get my hands behind the unit and ease it forward. Judicious use of a trim removal tool taking care not to damage the side at the same time made it even easier to pull out. Does that make sense? |

Ummm...so, with the two screws at the top of this panel removed I merely need to 'firmly' pull it out ?
Edit: I shall go and try that! Last edited by Zeb; 17th May 2008 at 14:08.. |

With the switch panel removed, I managed to get my hands down behind the ashtray assembly and eased it forward Carl.
I did use the trim tool as a "persuader" as well though. It's held in place by those bits of springy plastic beloved of car interior designers. I'm not sure which screws you are referring to though |

I also had great difficulty in removing the ashtray assembly out. Have a look here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=18556.
I found no screws, just the 2 clips that Paul refers to.
