diy instructions on dash strips??

[gabf1]

Hi Loren and Co.,

I've searched unsucessfully for the last couple of days for this one. I have seen the recs on removing these with a soldering gun :( . I am willing to take the dash apart to install these 3 strips correctly. Does anyone have pics or instructions on what needs to be done? any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

geoff :D

You can remove all 3 trim pieces if you have the glove box. And want to remove your steering wheel.

don't have a dash board but can remove the steering wheel if necessary. Do you have any schematics?

With all due respect I really don't think you want to take the dash out...

Behind the stalks is a black trim plate, just below the instrument cluster. If that plate is removed then you can get to the back of the 2 short mouldings by reaching behind the dash and using a T10 bit. There are 2 screws in each moulding.

But to get the trim plate off you have to remove the steering wheel and the 2 plastic covers for the steering column.

If your car had a glove box then you would remove the box and then you can reach behind the dash to get to the screws for the long moulding. No glove box - then you have to do it the brutal way.
