Default Billet AC *****...install question...

Alright, this may go down as one of the bone head threads in the history of the internet...


Anyway, I got the billet *****.... and is it me or are those OEM ***** freakin welded in??? It's an '07 BTW, dunno if they could have changed anything, but I'm pulling straight off and it feels like the whole damm console is gunna come off.. I'm a big guy and I'm afraid if I pull any harder something is gunna break...

Am I missing something? or do I just pull em off?? Anyone do this on an 07? or are they on there that tight???

I have an '05 and mine just pull right off...not a lot of force required. Maybe it's different for the '07s?

Sorry Perdi......Ford changed the HVAC panel on the 07' model. You cannot pull the ***** off to replace them with billet ones. [:@]

Yup, pretty much. That's why the A/C ***** usually say 05-06 only. Here's an older thread on it that I have bookmarked.
