[A4] Removing Center Trim...

[Derek Pulvino]

So done now, and going through the cupholder is the way at it.  You  
can get see one of the metal clips on the right side when looking  
from the top.  A little leverage inside there gets the trim loose,  
and then once you get it out a bit you can grab with your hands and  
pull it off.

Flasher relay comes out fairly easily, but you really need to take  
the red switch cover off to get the switch out.  Seems like it'll  
break when pulling the cover off, but it snaps out...then grab the  
switch body/edge with pliers, pull it out, unplug/plug...and from  
there the reverse.

Really not too hard, just seems a little tenuous, like something  
could break or snap in the process.  That said, glad it's done.
