Switch button went inside dashboard

Postby buturugu » Sat Jan 20, 2018 3:54 pm

The button for my left seat heating went inside the dashboard. It's still connected and in working order but I can't get it out through the hole. Anyone knows how to open the dashboard trim for a 2012 S model?

Any other suggestions welcomed!

Ok, since I got no response here I took the problem in my own hands.

I started pulling on the cup holder and it got out easier than expected. After that I pulled on the bottom of the gearstick frame and it flick out, buttons attached. Nothing was broken so I simply inserted the button and everything back.

Hope this helps someone!
