How we disassemble the plastics and various dashboards of the Mini

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Dashboard

How do we disassemble the plastics and the various dashboard trims of the Mini? Let's see carefully in this video how to proceed with the disassembly: with a plastic or metal lever, we remove (by levering) the molding of the covering above the steering wheel. We detach the piece from the dashboard, then, we remove the airbag to remove the plastic on the steering wheel. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws that tighten the molding (glove box door) on the right side of the dashboard, remove the piece by levering it. Finally we remove the other moldings from the doors (we always use anti-scratch levers). We carry out the assembly of the pieces by proceeding backwards.
