Noises are doing my head in....my question is about the small grille on top of the dash that clears the inside of the screen. I've tried taking it out and can't as it seems like it's screwed in but cannot see any. There also looks to be a small sensor of some kind under the plastic cap that looks like a screw would be under that - what it is and what does it do ? I've just snapped the cap so the sensor is now 'open'.
there are 2 sensors, one for the actual direct sunlight reading and one by your left knee for the actual in cabin temprature reading and depending on what each one senses the climate does what it needs to do to keep the temp at the temp you have set
the cover over the top is probably there to make sure the sensors doesn't see direct sunlight, i left a thermometer in the van in direct sunlight during the summer and the temps showed 55 degrees c
So how does that trim piece that goes in there actually come out (without using brute force and ignorance !) All I want to do is put some stuff behind it to stop it rattling !
