dash trim
dome light
rear speaker cover
passenger seat controls
also picked up an OEM radio for $35 since my aftermarket one wouldn’t fit into the new dash trim, meh I don’t mind as long as I’ve still got my tunes!
How does the radio come out of the dash? My new rover's (03) radio sounds like garbage, crackling noise like you wouldn't believe...until it warms up...then it is bearable. I'd like to switch radios, have the same radio in the 01 l'm disassembling. Just don't want to break anything, not much of an interior type of guy. Or do you think it might be the amp under the drivers seat?

Thanks, in advance for any info.

i had that same problem in my dads vette, connections to the amp we’re all kinds of messed up, radio is easy to pop out, 2 tabs on bottom and a little bit of persuasion with a thin wedge tool and my old broken OEM one came out, not sure if that’s how to take it out however 😂 I would check radio connections, and then move onto amp,

gonna do some DIY limb risers, should cost me about $40 from Home Depot, wanna get her trail ready for summer and I feel like limb risers is a good next step!
thanks! It’s a work in progress for sure, but it has come a long way, I bought it and needed a lot of repairs before I could mod it, now that’s she is fixed, it’s the fun part 😎

Okay, i found out how to do this today after accidently putting in the new radio and not even wiring it up! there is 2 id say 1/3 inch long holes that are close to the top 2 corners, i grabbed a bobby pin, and straigtened it out and you put it in, kinda giving the radio a little pull pressure while pushing it in, and you can pop each side out one at a time, after that it should come right out!
