Sunday 02/22/2026 | 2010 | Boxster | Interior/Upholstery

Does anyone know how to remove the horizontal trim strips (in Volcano Grey) so that I can paint them? They run the length of the dash from door to door. There are a total of 6: two short ones (2-3") on either side of the steering wheel, one above the radio, one that functions as the cupholder door, and two short ones flanking it. I'm pretty sure the cupholder door is straightforward but the total of 5 other ones look like they have tabs, and a male plugs. i don't want to break them ($30 ...
