It would be one of those time I would not lose any sleep over it, sounds harsh but true.

The idiot probably made a fuss that the car must have dual airbags when he bought the car and then he bolts a steel girder to the dash

How can you not laugh at that. What a quality installation....

How on earth could you just leave it like that? If its a taxi, it wouldn't take long until it was reported by a passanger. & If it is, that is so dangerous to be carrying passangers. So dissapointing.

Hey, I was wondering if anybody knew how to open that top cap piece, or how to pull it off. You know the plastic piece that sits on top of the ICC, the one he had to remove to put in the GPS frame?


EDIT: This is for a BF, by the way.

You pry it open with a credit card or something like a plastic spatular. There’s a couple of clips underneath that hold it in.
