Reply to "Help removing hvac slider toggle thingies"

Hi,

Just thought I'd share my experience in removing the sliders and the face plate and it was easier than expected. I had a good look and saw two of the sldiers were already broken where they slot into the metal tounges, so I just wiggled them and they came out easily from the top (in the cabin side, not under the dash). Even the third one came out without a struggle. I was then able to pull off the HVAC plate with my fingers. It was tight but came off without needing to be prised off. Underneath there were two screws accessible from inside the cabin holding the slider assembly to the dash. I have had my HVAC plate re-chromed, so I just pushed it back on, and I also had purchased three new sliders and slid them onto the metal tounges. I attach some pictures below.

My Pantera is a 1974 L.

Cheers, Tim.
