Its pretty straight foward. I cracked my dash pad because the locking velcro is STRONG!! Other then that get a buddy and each of you guys work on seperate sides and takes you about 2 hours to get out. Only thing i can think of is you need to un bolt the stearing colum and lower it down some to get it out. Other then that its pretty strraight foward. Just start taking bolts out and next thing you know its out!

the dash pad or dash??? dash pad is easy, like said before take the pillar covers off and work your way around the front edge to pop it off, now the whole dash assembly is another story, lots of unbolting there

click here and if opens but no pics click on #2 line which should read:windshield side molding and it should show pics, then click on #7 to show how to remove upper dash pad, then click on REMOVAL PROCEDER which is underlined in the upper left side above #1 line.

I guess this didn't work either. Nothing came up in the upper links.
