Looking to pull dash apart

[Daryl80]

Hi All

Hope all is well. I write seeking help an advice in learning how to pull apart the dash. I have searched across these forums, but was not able to find the answer, so seeking some help here.

I am looking to have most of my trim pieces repainted, but of course need to learn how to pull apart each section.

The sections that I'm looking to learn how to pull apart are:

The upper part of centre console,

the lower part of the centre console

the transmission tunnel cover

the 3 strips of plastic that goes below the front passenger airbag, and besides the steering wheel column

the two side air vents

the inside door handles

Finally, I'm looking to pull off the strip that is part of the door handle and extends to where the door pockets are.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself, so I've attached a photo with the sections of the door that I would like painted.

Thanks heaps to all who reply.

Oh and I'll be taking heaps of photos of each stage, so please let me know if anybody is interested in photos of each stage.

Thanks!

You may want to drop a note to Eric over at Bumperplugs.com. He has a great selection of painted interior parts and probably has instructions for removing and reinstalling them.

Daryl,

I am currently having my leather dash board, instrument pod, and airbag recovered. I got this from a Boxster owner to help the upholstery remove the component

Hi systech, Thanks heaps! That link is exactly what I'm looking for. I've printed it out for my reference material.

kbull88, apologies not sure if I can see the attachment or link you gave the upholsterer. Can you re-attach it again?

Nice to help a fellow Aussie !

Be careful when removing the tunnel - it's easy to scratch it and/or the seats !

And by the way, the procdure for removing the door cards and hence the handles etc can be found here:

Daryl,

I had to break into two uploads.

Here is the first one.

My interior wasn't originally leather. Can it be covered with leather or do I have to find a salvaged dash?
