GU Roof Console Removal

G'Day Craig.. I have done this in two GU's but I dont have mine here right now so will try from memory..

There is one screw inside the sunglass holder.. then, you need to remove the plastc bit surrounding the rearview mirror and remove the two or three screws that hold it in place.
Good luck.

Hi Craig,

I just removed one from a GU ST model the other week to fit an outback roof console.

You do not need to remove the rear view mirror to get it off. Just remove the screw in the sunglasses holder and then use a flat bit of metal to pry the whole unit off. It is held on by four pressure clips (1 in each corner). It takes a fair bit of force to dislodge them - but don't worry, you won't bust the plastic unit. Give them a good hard pull and the whole thing comes off.

Thanks Moggs, time to get the flat bladed scraper out and a bit of heave-ho. I can see the two front clips but wasn't sure that there were any more - now I know.
Cheers.

Actually, I am not replacing the unit, just need to get it it down to wire in a backlighting switch for the magnetic compass I have mounted on the plastic blank.

Yes it is fully adjustable and is in fact adjusted (only required N/W correction).
