shifter area trim removal steps? chrome peeling off
hi all. does any one have a link or can tell me the steps to removing the trim around the shifter (2007 XKR)? I have the issue of the chrome peeling off around the shifter gate. i'd hate to snap or break any tabs because I didn't know a step, etc. tnx.

It is not difficult. First unscrew the shift knob- it is held firm by a bit of locktite so it requires a bit of force but it will release. Now, with the shifter in N, *gently* pry up under the side edges of the wood finisher, perhaps starting at the forward part. For this procedure a set of plastic trim removal tools is advisable.
The wood finisher is simply held in by several clips on each side. Once these are freed the finisher together with the shift quadrant surround will lift straight off. The shift quadrant surround is then easily removed from the wood piece - it is held by a spring clip.
