[R129 SL] R129 Cosole Trim

[Paul Samarin]

That video is fantastic!  Thanks a million.  I gotta take my radio  
out; I had no idea it was so easy.  I haven't seen that radio removal  
tool in my kit, though.  Anyone know where to get one?

Meanwhile, a friend warned me about being careful while removing the  
wood piece.  As you can see, it is bent or molded in the two places  
on each side and is pretty thin at those locations.  It is apparently  
pretty easy to crack it there if not very careful...and, I'm sure  
it's an expensive piece to replace.  So, take your time and coax it  
out slowly, more slowly than is shown in the video.
