-=Jeff=- · 05-17-2013

now I know why it was not fitting right around the Defrost vent..

The squares in the circled area are suppose to be a small screw hole only.. LOL

Bad Carpet Dye job done before I got the car..

Couple pieces getting prepared to be installed

Hello Jeff,
Did you have to remove your dashpad? If so can you tell me how to remove it. I have to remove mine and having problem finding all the fasteners holding it to the frame.
Thanks,
Nelson 007

to remove.. need to remove:
Pass side trim around Fuse panel
Lower hush panels
Driver side panel against door
Headlight switch
Cluster bezel
all 3 vents
Console and radio bezel
Defrost vent
Glovebox and lid

Dash pad has screws by the center vent, 2 at the defrost vent, 2 above the Cluster

With the vents removed the dash should pull out, it is a bit tight as there are 4 clips along the windshield edge holding it in to the car
