This was a great tutorial. I got to Figures 6 thru 8 and couldn't get any of the connectors to let loose. I saw the slotted ramps on the big black connector and tried that with no luck. The antenna connector would not let loose. I also have the CD changer connector. All stubborn. Can anyone help?

Try pressing the little collar for the antennas. Sometimes there is a release tab on them.

Hello Nick -

After posting my request for help, I took a deep breath, gathered up all my known obscenities and attacked again, even tried the tab things. In the end it just needed an abundance of elbow grease. I guess being connected for 20 years, unmolested was too much for it. I now have the radio out (long story), have removed the center console and working on rebuilding the broken tabs (I didn't do it) on the driver knee panel and glove box. Learning a lot about my 20 year old Z3.

By the way, do you have the clip nuts used to attach the panels? I could use about a dozen.

Thanks again.

Vic
