DIY: GTR Red Start-Stop Button Swap out

winnre · 01-01-2014, 07:11 PM

My first mod! I'm surprised there are so many pages here of folks taking off so many panels and not just popping out the outer ring with a screwdriver. Maybe the first post needs to be edited to say DON'T DO IT THIS WAY!

I'd have finished 10 minutes sooner but I was trying to pull the start button out of the ring and not push. As soon as I checked here to see my errors I pushed instead, and the button went flying into the back seat.

The new one looks great!

Sure you could use the pop it out with a screwdriver approach

But I didn't want folks to potentially damage the sides of the panel trying to pop out the switch with a screwdriver

Thats the reason for the more careful DIY approach never mind this is the Original DIY and so their are others with the simple approach since then.

But Thanks for the advise.

Good to hear you did it
