Re: Radio Volume knob broke (nm09vibe)

If you mean how to remove the radio faceplate, there are two screws on each side. It will seem like something else is holding it, but it just pulls straight off. You're fighting an internal plug/socket in the process. There is one small wire inside you'll have to remove to get it off completely.
