ok, the dash on my old car is 10X better than the new one... I'm about to sell the old car, but am going to remove a couple of these interior items first...
first the dash... the soft part (pass. side, near windshied) is what I really need to replace... but I can't figure out how to get this part(or the hard part) off... I removed the lower dash(knee pad) thinking that it would give access.. but it did not help... also, I saw there are 2 holes: one at either end, concealed by the door when closed... are there supposed to be screws in these? if so, what kind? they appear to be completely empty... the other piece I am having trouble with is the passenger seat... the driver's seat came out just like Haynes said it would... the Passenger seat will slide all the way forward, but not pop out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) last part, removing the back pad... I have removed all of the screws and the engine release knob... but the plastic piece behind the knob seems to have become a permanant part of both the backpad and the cable... it won't budge.... what's the secret to getting this off? a pic showing the dash part I need to get to: Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(Joe.D @ Mar 15 2004, 10:39 AM) The "Soft part" of the dash top is glued to padding underneath it which is glued to the metal dashboard. It is also held in place by being pinched by the hard part, and by an end-to-end seal/clip that follows the curve of the windshield. It will be hard to remove the clip without breaking it, and hard to remove the top material without tearing the padding beneath it. Good luck. Joe well, SHIT! <_< this piece on the red car is all wavy and bubbley... looks like dammit! is there a replacement piece for this? all I see at tweeks and pelican is the hard part... or a way to fix it? I missed the spring interlock... the one on the driver's side must have been toast! |
