Dodge Neon Radio Bezel Removal

The bezel of the Dodge Neon that surrounds the radio is removable by the owner. You may wish to remove the bezel for a variety of reasons, including getting access to the radio or to replace a damaged bezel. The job takes only a few minutes and can be accomplished with simple tools.

Things You'll Need

• Small screwdriver
• Phillips screwdriver
• Putty knife

Instructions

1. Pull off each of the four climate-control knobs. The knobs are held on with friction fittings, so simply grasp them tightly and pull straight back, away from the dashboard to remove them.

2. Insert the tip of a small screwdriver on the edge of the air vents above the climate-control knobs and carefully pry out the two vents.

3. Remove the two Phillips screws located in the cavity behind the area where the air vents were located.

4. Pry around the edge of the bezel with your screwdriver tip or similar object, like a putty knife. You'll release four retaining clips as you go around the bezel. The bezel will come off when the last clip is released.
