996 dash dismantle instructions-anyone?__dash leather repair

[GreggT]

For 996 Carrera/Turbo/etc......I did a search. I did see the link to the Pelican site for removal of the instument cluster....that's straight forward.....good.

But I'd like to see both removal of the center cluster as well as the air-bag face. the speaker grills s/b easy.

Bottom line is.....this Turbo has the fairly common issue of the dash-top leather shrinking, first separating from it's base, bubbling/puckering, and then shrinking and pulling back from the long defrost vent.

I have a good leather guy that's fairly confident he can tackle this but needs those panels off in order to come in from the rear.....and restretch and re-attach the leather.

TIA.
