removal of dash trim 2nd Gen

[GCA3N]

This is a brief guide for removal of the 2 dash trims, one beind the steering wheel and the other covering the secret compartment.

Again I accept no responsibility if your car blows up whilst carrying out this routine:lol:

Ok first of is the section behind the steering wheel. This is simply held in place with 2 clips, simply using a screwdriver with some tape on the end you prise it at one side until it clips then the other side. It was quite hard to get it off the first time but once you realise your not breaking anything it's much easier.

The bit can be hard to manipulate past the rev counter if you are finding that the rev counter is held in place by 2 torx head screws, if you look behind it they are very obvious, just slacken them slightly and this should be enough to remove the piece.

The passenger side is quite alot harder.

Open it up to reveal 2 t20 torx screws, remove these.

You have to split the top part from the bottom now.

There are 3 clips, using a screw driver (flat blade) or similar prise apart one at the left, one in the center and one to right.

This is quite tricky but will become obvious as you try to do it.

Job done, reverse the process to put back on.
