how to remove dash inserts?

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Yup as above, they will bend a bit as they are mounted on a metal sheet. Just re-bend the old ones flat!

Mind!

These stripe excist of two panels mounted to eachother. If you try to pry it off, then probably both come off. Just mount the rearpanel directly back.

you'll probably bend them as said, but you can get them back in shape without a problem.

Just try...
