well thanks for ignoring my other post

Has anyone removed there dashboard? if they have i need help with that thanks...

 

i will have this tutorial up tomorrow

 

thanks man.... ju teh mang...

 

u have to take the armrest off first. take off the bottom cover inside ur clove compartment, unbolt those bold under that lining, unscrew the screw on the outside sides and pull that off first.

 

i know that much.... but i want to know exact details cuz an idea of a airbag blowing in my face like 3 inches away is not so pretty lol...

 

turn the steering wheel upside down the unplug the SRS connector.

are you trying to take ur whole dashboard off or just the front?

fyi: i need to remove the ENTIRE dashboard fellerz lol

oh yea, thanks

 

So whatever happened with the entire dashboard removal? I just bought an entire dash board and am looking about how to get it installed correctly without the airbags going off.

 

same deal here. im tryin to restore the dash but am worried about breakin something (clips, airbag. etc...)

 

disconnect the battery and the airbag wont go off. Just make sure you have the radio code.

 

got the radio code etc. but how difficult is it to replace the whole dash? It is all one large piece.

 

i gave up and gonna do it my way. lol


this shall be fun LOL

 

StarBoy, keep us posted on removing that thing. You have the whole paiece right? Doestn seem like there are many screws and the dash I have has all the wire harnesses still perfectly in tact. SO it seems easy when you look at it but when you think about airbags going off or some clips being broke, I dont want to mess with it. Screw it I am going to post a pic of my new dash lets hope it works...lol
This way you guys can see what I am talking about..

 

See if this works I had to actually creat a photobucket account...I did read the how to post pics article that is why i decided to upload them on here..Wierd every other forum I go on has a tag to just upload them from your PC... Am I missing something?

why are you replacing it? you might as well paint up some pieces on that and do a little custom work to while its off.

 

ONly reason is because I am not trying to go crazy I just want it to look at new as possible. The dash on their now I actually punched the woodgrain piece side and broke the dashboard and the wood grain piece. Surprized the airbag didnt go off...What can I say...Girlfriends,lol


But what pieces are you talking about painting since you mentioned it?

 

well i mean, while thats all off maybe the woodgrain if you dont like it. If i had more time id like to paint my woodgrain. If i had the money to do it, id change my entire interior black, but that prob wont happen.

 

ah I see what your sayin, I want to keep it stock I dont want to paint anything. Just want it to look like when the car was bought..Will make it easier to sell when I decide to get rid of it.
