DIY:Replacing Start Button cover
 

So a lot of forum member PM me regarding the how-to on replacing the start button cover, so I thought it's time to make a DIY thread showing the how-to.

Difficulty level - from 1 to 10, I would rage its difficulty level to Level 5
Time needed - 30 mins - 60 mins
Tool needed - cell phone repair kit is recommended (I use a flat screw driver from a cell phone repair kit)

First of all, we need to remove the unit from the car. Please refer to this video on removing the whole unit.

First of all, we need to remove the bezel of the unit. Slide your flat screw driver in and rotate, then your bezel will pop out easily.

Once the bezel is poped out, you will see 3 of these clips holding the start button unit. Un-clip them and push the unit out, be extremely careful with this step as you might damage the clips (I did crack one of them but seems just fine holding the unit together)

Once the start button unit is popped out, you will see 3 clips holding the start button covers, do the same thing, un-clip them and push using your screw driver to pop it out.

Once it's popped out, install the new start button cover and put everything back.

I was starting to wonder how to remove the cover. thanks for doing this! :thumbup:

where do you get the red f sport button at?

^^^^^^^^^^

I ordered it from Japan, they are custom made, order to make item. I did run a group buy on those but wait time to have them made is very long 1-1.5 months wait time.

I'm down for a group buy

I'm in the 1st group buy that was ordered back on Feb 16th, and I'm still waiting to receive mine.

maybe I'll just break out the old art supply kit go BOb ROss on mine...

They were shipped to you last Wednesday. You should be receiving your order this week

Where is the shipping information you said you were going to send once they were shipped?. I have not received anything from you.
