ok, i've looked all over, searched the boards andireallycan'tfigureouthow toget itout.. i've take out the guades, removed the 2 screws there buti can't figure out whats still holding it into the car, i also can't figure out the passenger side of the dash either b/c of the air bag....

im trying to rewrap the dash if you were wondering...

if someone could point me to aDIY or post here on what i need to do to get it out please let me know


Thank you.

 

?? n e one know?

 

yes...

two screws behind each a-pillar, 2 screws behind center console, screw behind gauges, 2 screws for the passenger airbag... and 13 plastic tabs (claws)

 

^^
that is a really great diagram

 

i cropped it out of the repair manual and uploaded it into my photobucket...

a few seconds after the question was when i did it.. lol...

 

wow... thats awsome man... thank you much... looks like i onl;y missed that 2 under the pass side... (after prying out the A pilar b/c of the air bags)

back to rewraping my car.

i'll post some pics when i get it all done, it's comming out really nice.

 

so i guess you got it all out?

you're welcome

 

i <3 trung!

 

i <3 TIS.... lol..

 

If I just have to get at the front vent on the passenger side, do I still need to pull out the whole dash? Or is there a magic way of doing it?

 

you don't have to remove the whole thing... just enough of it... pry and crack it open far enough to do what you gotta do.

for the passenger side... maybe just removing the glove box is good enough.. depends on what you're planning.

 

Oh, just the vent. Someone put their hand through it when they were getting out of the car, so the slats are broken. I know if I remove the glovebox, I can get my hand on it, but I couldn't detect any means of getting the vent out. Well, without breaking stuff...

 

This thread helped me remove my dash to run a GPS wire, thanks!

 

I know this is bringing back the dead, but... for those of you who have removed the dash, can you see and get to the firewall easily? I wanted to dynamat the firewall or at least as much as I could get to easily. if there's nothing but a bunch of wires and plastic crap in the way, i wont bother...

 

i think nebseter has a how to video on this on youtube

 

got a link? I couldn't find it...

 

Don't wanna resurrect an old thread, but I am having some trouble finding the two screws on the a-pillars...anyone with some advice? Thanks for the help in advanced

 

those are easy. once you've removed the a-pillars, they should be visible at the very bottom of where the a-pillar was.

 

how do you remove the a-pillars if you have the airbags there?

 

good question, lol. my 06 didn't have airbags up there... unless somebody that knows how can tell you, all i can recommend is disconnecting the battery and waiting 5 minutes and then just try removing it (just pull. a panel removal tool does wonders). you don't have to take it all the way out and disconnect the airbag or anything, just enough to get to the bolt thingy. but i could be totally off since i have no idea what the airbag a-pillars look like...
