Hi Guys, GM has a repair kit for the grid lines if they break. P/N 1052858. The stuff is in section 10-2-7 of the helm. I've been told by a body guy I knew that if the wire just separates from the glass but is not broken a little of that rear viev mirror glue can be used to reattach it to the glass.
Richard, take out the bulbs in the DIC. That's what most people do if they abandon the LTPWS. I think that is the most common alteration, to remove anything else like the reciever is fairly complicated.
