i think that you need to pop open the whole pad ( the grey one that has the buttons for the moon roof)..

i dont want to do it to mine for fear of risking not having the moon roof becoming inoperable...
but if u want , u should give it a try...

david
let me know what u do, or if it can be done

Default Dont' take grey bit off

All u have to do is get a screw driver and slip it between the plastic and the grey lining.. but be careful not to scratch the plastic cover.. this applies to the front and back

No nono.. just the transparent bit... slip a screw driver in and flip it out.. it's really simple.. just have to be brave.. don't be scared of breaking it

i popped it out,
actually, the clear plastic piece is attached to part of the grey plastic in my IS300..

there is the main piece which has the controls for the moon roof , then there is another that goes ON TOP of the main piece...

i popped that second one off...it kinda is like a "lid" that goes on top of the main piece..
its not just a little clear plastic piece..

thanks for your help....

david
