removing key bezel from tail piece

Post by a330us »

Hi Guys,
Has anyone tried to remove the chrome bezel that the seat lock assembly fits into on the plastic tail piece? I need to paint one and can't see how to get it out. It has a flange on the inside of the plastic but can't seem to get it to move to push it out. Thanks Arch.

Not sure what you mean Arch. Undo the 2 screws into the tail piece under the seat and the plastic section lifts off leaving the complete lock assembly in place.

You'r right, the chrome bezel is flanged on the inside of the tail piece.
Gently bent it back and remove the chrome bezel, once you put it back I would either use a droplet of 10 seconds glue or use a little hotmelt.

Thanks, I was afraid I'd have to unbend it to get it out so might just do some very careful taping and just repaint. My Limited has holes drilled in the sides for homemade turn signals, don't know what they were thinking. By the way anyone have a nice white pearl one for sale? Thanks Arch.

Yeah, seen that one before but mine was many hundreds cheaper with only 7K on it. some PO just decided to make some turn signals and drilled big holes in the tail plastic and looks like crap so will probably just repaint a good one I've got. Thanks Arch.

Not sure what you mean Arch.
Not sure sure if one tail piece was used only on the P750 and 906 or only on the early ones and the other only on the 907IEs but there were two types.

My 907 is the same as the 2nd one, in the bottom picture. The black bezel is part of the lock assembly with nothing attached to the tail piece.

Yes their was two types, the 750 had the chrome bezel and my 906's and 907's had the built up area around the key lock. I think that they will all interchange but haven't tried it. Arch.

The top one is the same as fitted to my P750 with a long push rod that goes from the lock into the back of the seat to lock it in place :lol: :shock: The lock fixing and lock mouldings are different so don’t know if they’re interchangeable
