GTR start button! another alternative..

Kbiz26 · 05-15-2015, 12:34 PM

The first pic is a touch misleading because the screwdriver is at the 1 o'clock position. When you push the screwdriver in it needs to be at the 4 o'clock position then the 11 o'clock position for the second tab. I cannot overemphasize this enough because if you pry too hard at the wrong position that would be the only way I could see breaking the bezel. I finished this up in about 10 minutes and it looks great! Repped +1 great DIY!!!

Worked fine for me! Took all of about 5 minutes.

The old credit card method worked for me, no scuff marks...

That was much easier than taking the rest apart. Took 3 minutes. Thank you!

no reply? i couldn't see how a GTR start button would give more power.

They're kidding. It's literally just a button.

This method is great if you want your start button to look like wolverine removed it lol. Just tried it with plastic trim tools and there's marks all over the place. The other method is guaranteed to to wreck anything.

Ok some of it was my fault trying to find the spots that would pop the old one out. I tried where others had and it didn't pop right out. I put the trim tool in around 1 and 10 and it just popped out like it's supposed to. Guess it's different for some folks.

Did this on my 2016 using an old gym card, thanks for the post!

I did it this way as well, using plastic trim tools and I have no marks at all.

Did it last night, No pictures sadly
But everything in this DIY works and takes literally less than 10 minutes.
