Anyone know how to remove the overhead pod - the one that holds the garage remote in the pre-99 ML? I had a recall repair of the trip computer, and now there's a little gap on one side. Not only that, I want to remove the pod to make it easier to place some wood (OK, fake wood) pieces on it.<br>

There are two visible screws once you pull the door down. I removed them, but I couldn't get the pod to pull loose. I really want to only remove the door and the curved piece that surrounds the sunroof control.<br>

One of the complaints about the add-on wood kits is that they too 'stuck-on'. By coloring the surrounding exposed plastic black, it helps to disguise the fact that the new wood is stuck on top. A Sharpie permanent marker can do a good job for very small places, but larger areas would benefit from using vinyl dye. <br>

BTW, I got my kit from wooddashfactory.com, and the match is perfect, even if it isn't 'real wood'.<br>
