trying to change carpet, need to remove dash to do so, here's what I've remove: 2 bolts on each side of dash by doors, 2 bolts holding steering column, 4 bolts (2 on either side) at bottom closer to shifter, and I was told there's 3 bolts under the defroster panel, or something like that, but I can't find them. My car's in the middle of my dad's front yard right now, so I'm kind of in a rush.

also, there was this thing that fell out from under the driver's side dash. it was a blue box and a small black one with a knob on it to adjust hi to lo. have no idea what it is, and what the adjustments are for. thinking maybe aftermarket alarm that I had disconnected.

i thought i saw something about this last week that j9fd3s posted, i guess im wrong. sorry

Baldy 12-08-2002 07:20 PM

no, he did post it...that's part of what I was working off of...he had said in part of it that there were 3 bolts under or behind the defrost panel, but I didn't understand that part, and can't find those bolts.

j9fd3s 12-08-2002 07:30 PM

you have to take the defrost panel off. under the middle defrost thing theres a bolt, and then some clips, and it comes off (be veery careful its sharp) and then the 3 dash bolts are super easy.

i knew he posted it

Baldy 12-11-2002 04:41 PM

ok, I got around to getting that one bolt off of the clip, but how do I get the clips off? I should just pm jdfd3s, but someone else might have some insight to help this slow individual...
