never done it before, but I hear its not a good idea because you have a shit load of rattles when you put it back together.....god knows we don't need no more of them....i fix a new rattle and a week later something else rattles......

i need to take mine apart (sort of).

i had my dashboard replaced due to warpping and when they put it back together... they left a gap on the passenger side where the fuse panel is. you dont see it when the door is closed, but i know its there and that means something aint right.

how can i fix this? everything else is fine, i just want to fix the gap on the passenger side. i tried just pushing it in, but it wont budge at all.

Do a search, and you will find console and dashboard removals.

Lookie here...

This is a site to change our your dash lighting system to LED. I'm tempted to do it, but I had my SELECT and RESET lights replaced a couple of years ago and my Hazard light button now rattles like Chubby Checker does the twist.

I might do this anyway....one more rattle won't kill me.

The sunroof rattle though....is another story.

I had my dash changed too last a couple months ago....no rattles, only thing is that the cruise control light doesn't come on even though the button is pushed. i'll get that fixed on saturday when i take it in for my steam clean and oil change and whatever.
