Removing the cassette fascia on my fabia?

Jonathan Norgat · 23-08-2005, 20:44

I want to replace the cassette player in my new fabia but am unsure about how to take off the fascia. Do I just yank it out, or do I need to buy some special tool?

You need to two release keys that slot in either side.

Have a search about, plenty of suppliers about and DIY options.

Halfords do them for not very much money and I've used my set for changing countless radios - very useful

Yep can recommend Nexia - good service from them in the past. Alternatively, go for a DIY jobbie and find two strips of metal thin enough

Brass single nail picture hooks!

Straighten the hook bit out which will effectively snap it off and they work fine... just long enough and dirt cheap!
