12 screws, still won't come down

[scotchjeff]

I am trying to pull down the overhead panel in the pic...there are 12 screws that i removed, but something is still holding the panel to the ceiling of the Grenadier.

See pic...what else do i need to do?

There are clips holding the panel in place still. Use a plastic pry bar to lever the panel off or your fingers to gently pry the panel off. You'll then see the two screws you need to remove to drop the inner panel and expose the wiring.

On my Grenadier there is no need to remove screws, they are for looks only, nothing more. I use a trim bar or my finger to grab a corner and work it across they pull down on everything. I have taken my overhead down several times. I ordered the overhead in Black stainless, however it only has one row of switches. I need two rows. RockFoxx.com is working on that.

I thought those used adhesive to glue it on top of the existing plate.

No glue, two longer identical screws, it is very decent quality. Better than the net in the G550.

So are there any screws needed to be removed or not?

Not on mine, I removed them once and realized these screws are for looks. They are fake. When you look on the inside, you see the screws go nowhere. Use a pry bar at the end towards the 2nd. row, pop it out and everything will follow. I use a cardboard box on the lip of the info-screen to help secure the control panel its long and I don't want it hanging by wires. When I get my stuff from RockFoxx I'll take photos and post them.

I tried it myself just some minutes ago. I couldn't manage to pull the panel down. The clips in the middle went loose, but I couldn't get the rear end loose. Maybe I wasn't brave enough to pull hard. Is the a trick?

You will need to remove all screws and the facia comes off. Then there should be two black screws towards rear of car. After removing them you should be able to pull the panel downwards from the upper/rear car side. Towards the mirror is a kind of hinge. Do not pull there.

Thanks @MACS that was the trick I needed. Just opened the switch panel. Found two loose clips. Now the project might start...

Don’t pull on panel!! Remove back screwed X8 4 on each side starting at back. Then remove the grey plastic that covers the switches either one row or tow depending on how you ordered. Under that grey cover is 2 screws at the back. Take those out and it will hinge forward! The grey plastic is held in by clips down the middle, be gentle or you’ll bend it and leave damage. Use a plastic pry tool down the middle moving back to front.
