Disassembly and repair of the frame of the Renault Clio IV console

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, Clio 4, MK 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to disassemble and repair the frame of the console of a Renault Clio IV: the chrome frame around the controls of the console or the GPS screen may crack or lose color: the official replacement costs about 400 euros, but it can be repaired at home without tools. The frame is fixed only with clips: we gently pull with our hands, without using screwdrivers, starting from the corners: be careful because it is a material that may have become fragile over time. There are several options for repairs: covering with an adhesive film, black or gray, but it does not always adhere well to the damaged chrome. It is advisable to paint directly, sanding the chrome surface to remove residues and painting with a matte spray (perhaps gray, to match the steering wheel), at a cost of 10/12 euros for the spray can of paint.
