Method 1: Gentle Pull and Pry
1. Prepare: Gather a small flat-head screwdriver or trim removal tool. You might also want a soft cloth to protect the knobs from scratches.
2. Insert Tool: Carefully insert the flat-head screwdriver or trim tool into the gap between the knob and the bezel (the surrounding plastic). Start at one edge and work your way around.
3. Gentle Pressure: Apply gentle, even pressure. You should feel resistance, and then the knob will pop out. Avoid excessive force, as you could break the knob or the surrounding plastic.
4. Repeat: Repeat this process for each knob.
Method 2: Pulling Straight Out (Sometimes Works)
Sometimes, you can simply pull the knobs straight out. Try this first, but if it doesn't work easily, don't force it.
Important Considerations:
* Be Gentle: These knobs are often delicate and can easily break. Use caution and apply even pressure.
* Visual Inspection: Before you start, carefully look at the knobs and surrounding area to see if there are any obvious release tabs or screws. Sometimes, there's a small hole on the side of the knob where a small tool can be inserted for easier removal.
* Consult a Repair Manual: A repair manual specific to your 2010 Chrysler Sebring will provide diagrams and instructions. This is the most reliable source of information. You can often find these online (e.g., Haynes or Chilton manuals).
* YouTube: Search YouTube for "2010 Chrysler Sebring center console removal." Videos often show the knob removal process as part of the larger console removal.
If you can't remove the knobs using these methods, it's best to consult a professional mechanic to avoid damaging your car's interior. Forcing the knobs could result in broken parts, requiring more expensive repairs.
