    yesterday, i went to melb to pick up a new rns-510. stopped by the post office on the way home and the iphone cradle i bought of Zakarados had arived.

    today, i installed rns and found that im somewhere near lisbon.... now have v.6 maps on the way... apart from that one small hicup, all went well.

    also, can anyone help with getting the trim off the (a)-pillar (along window). do i just need to use more force or is there a trick to it? will help with getting the gps areal into the roof above the reading light

    Hi Ben. I had a similar question at the weekend and thanks to sootchucer I have the following tips and response for removing the light

    First off I found taking the A-Pillar off hard work, firstly with not knowing how much I needed to pull it, and secondly that my better half would have been pissed if I'd broke something in the car a week after picking it up. There are three big metal clips holding it in, top, middle and bottom. I started at the top and pulled it away from the roof lining and thought you needed to unclip the plastic from the metal clips but they just pull right out. I wish I had taken photos as they would have really helped but I live in the UK and it was raining. Once it's away from the metal A-Pillar it pulls up a little bit to give you clearance for the cable. You will find removing the side panel of the dash helpful as well. I then removed the roof light using the following instruction from sootchucer:

    'You first need to remove the clear lens from the light unit (using a very small screwdriver or better still, feeler gauges or a trim removal tool), it just pops out, starting from the back.

    With that removed, you will see in the remaining white moulded bulb holder, 4 small clips (2 left, 2 right), which hold the light unit into the roof moulding. Gently lever these inwards (don't use too much force otherwise you might snap them off), until you can prise the light fitting at that corner down and out of the roof lining. Repeat in the other corners and the light fitting will drop from the roof being held only by it's electrical cable.'

    I then used some tape and a piece of long plastic strip I had in the house to go from the light to the corner where the A-Pillar was, and then pulled the wire through.

    Then just put it all back together with a couple of gentle slaps for the A-Pillar. Oh, and check you are putting the light back the right way round, because I was trying for a couple of minutes, before realising i was trying to put it back in back to front.

    Sorry if I have told you stuff you already know but might also help someone else at some point, hope this helps and if there is anything else I can help with let me know

    Michael

    Thanks Michael.
    Yeah, getting the light out is the easy part, was just having trouble with the pillar trim. Will the whole trim come off, or just pull back to allow enough room to work in?

    Hi ben I just pulled it out to allow room to work due to the speaker that is at the bottom, I didn't have the time to look at removing the wires.

    Are you going to tape the new wire in place? I didn't and I think there is a little rattle coming from it, so may take it off and tape it down,

    Hope it all goes well for you,

    So new rims fitted along with the FK coilovers.

    What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)-1417801_528201750602678_415386487_o-jpg

    Still needs to be dropped a little more the next time I take it in.

    Black wheel studs arrived, spigot rings on their way and LED foglights also.
