Help Removing Some Silver Interior Trim Pieces

[DivrGuy]

I feel like I may be posting a redundant question. But I have read a lot of threads and watched a lot of videos and still haven’t found an answer yet. Does anyone know how to remove the silver trim around the gear shift, around the media and power window cluster, and the front of the radio. It looks like the section of the console that surrounds the gear shift and cup holders should just pop out, and perhaps with it out, I can find how to pop loose the silver trim piece, but I don’t want to start pulling and prying without knowing if it will work.
The plate on the front of the radio has four screws, but after removing those it doesn’t just fall off, so not sure there.
I have no idea how to go about removing the silver trim piece around the media and window control hub. Any help is appreciated. 2023 Gladiator.

As soon as I posted this, the forum showed "Similar threads" and one of them contained the video below. That helped me figure out that the section of the console that surrounds the gear shift and cup holders does just pop out, and I already knew the shift boot just pulled up out of the way, so I was able to get that section out. After turning it over, I saw that the silver trim piece has tabs to pop into place, but I couldn't find a way to get it to release easily. After breaking two of the tabs, I removed the two screws that hold the shift indicator in place, and just decided to take that section of console, mask off everything around the silver trim, and spray it like that. With some careful masking, that should work out fine.

Still unsure about the other pieces.

You can buy stick on pieces on Amazon. They stick over different pieces inside. Paint them whatever color you like.
Install is easy, wipe surface with alcohol, heat up the sticky tape(hair dryer or heat gun) then press them onto the trim.

Did you ever figure out how to get the other silver trim pieces off? Particularly the one with the four screws around the radio knob?

No, I did not. I gave up and let it go. I'm over it now.

Or...at least I was....until you brought it up again....thanks for that!!

LOL!!!

Replaced the silver trim on the steering wheel yesterday with Sarge Green trim from Distinction Applied. Have used a few painted plastic overlays to conceal some other interior silver. But starting to get down to the hard stuff like that thin silver trim around the radio volume knob area with the four seemingly useless little screws. I also removed the screws to find that it didn't release the trim. Too afraid to try to pry the piece off because it is so thin.

This may take me some time, but I am not fiving up!!

Just installed a brake controller, and this video showed how to easily remove those pieces. About midway through the video.

Unfortunately the video does not show how to remove just the silver trim pieces - only whole sections. I have removed those sections before. But maybe I will remove them again to see of the silver trim pieces can be removed from behind? Thanks for posting.
