Clock -- Removing the "H" and "M" - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

pokasd · 08-07-2009, 08:57 PM

I guess a quick introduction. I had a 2004 Avalon that was parked outside my house and then totaled by a drunk driver. Today I bought a 2007 Camry SE V6 (Barcelona Red).

I'm a newb when it comes to cars, but I'd like to start learning (it's one of my to-dos since graduating college). This site should have lots of good info.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to remove the "H" and "M" above the clock buttons without damaging or scratching anything? I think it might look a little cleaner (I've already been eying those debadging threads--I may have to do that soon).

don't think you can do it. if anything order a spare cover that you can mess with to figure out what works best. i heard something like sugar cubes work.

Find some touchup paint about the right color and paint over the letters. Liberal arts major, huh?

Ouch, harsh assumption.

Nah, I got a B.Sci. in Geology from UTD (I say that because I see you're in North Texas, too).

I'd say paint it.

I say leave them alone because in a couple of days you won't even notice them.

Welcome to TN and congrats on your new SE V6!

Just get black tape and cover it, then you can atleast remove it

yea i barely even notice mine. punks suggestion is good too. you can probably cut the pieces to just fit the letters then paint them to match interior color. best is you can always remove them.

lol. well atleast you fixed it before njerald comes in.

pokasd · 08-08-2009, 04:51 PM

I'll probably order another part and try it on that I think. I don't think tape/paint in whatever combo would look great.

Or I might just let them be.

Thanks for the replies!

Really now, if you're considering taking the time and money to eliminate the H and M on the clock, my, you just have too much free time. The next owner might want to use those things, and there might come a time that you wish you invested those bucks in Rydex instead of Toyota.

Edit: Also, you should stop making assumptions. So far, you're 0-for-2.
