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) ![]() |

I have removed and replaced the dash before and it is a PITA but with patience you can find all of the plastic nuts and work them loose. Yes there are #2 screws on either end of the dash.
The toughest nuts are behind the gauges and between the 1/2 gap in the metal frame. If you use a large screwdriver to pry apart the gap you can get a wrench in to loosen the nuts. Once they are loose you will be able to spin them off with the tip of your finger. I had to take out the radio so I could reach up from under the dash and get all the way over to the nut above the heater controls. Be very careful removing the dash pad or it will crack! Good luck!
