i did a search in the tech section and couldnt find a thread to show me how to take the dash apart of the xA. can anyone point me in the right direction.

thanks guys

 

I just did it for the first time a few days ago and will be doing it again this weekend. I can do one if there isn't one already. If there is already a good one, no need to though. Is there one already?

i didnt find one when i searched. any pics you can take would be helpful. my girlfriend has an xA and wants to take some stuff off to paint but i cant figure it out. the xB is really easy

 

yeah I couldn't figure the dash out eighter and I can't get the stupid A-pillers off eighter I have side impact airbags so they have these plastic clips with hooks on them and I cant figure out how to get them off

 

please make sure you disconnect the battery when messing with anything related to airbags. i have seen them go off accidently, and its not a pretty site. thanks for being safe

 

always........ I actually have all the airbags disabled right now

 

awesome, i was just being cautious

 

anyone get some pics of the process? or any walkthough anything?

 

Are you wanting to take the top cover off or just the trim pieces and radio surround?

 

the radio area and the AC area.

 

OK, this is easy...

with a flat screwdriver, gently pry the side spears starting at the bottom...press fit so its not too tight..


Then remove the 3 dial *****, and the 2 screws behind the 2 outer ones.


Then the 2 screws that hold the radio surround to the center stack,

and pull from the bottom to free it.....



Hope this is what you were needing.

 

THANKS!

 

de nada....

 

I want he WHOLE dash the upper part big azz piece is giving me problems as well as the A-pillar

 

The A-pillars just snap in and I think there are abput 4 screws holding the dash top on....try the shop manual here on SL. it might help...

 

I have side impact air bags they have this freaking plastic tap thing with a double hook holding them on and I dont want to break the thing

 

Oooooh.... sell the car instead.....I don't mess with bags.....
