Default Help: passenger side dash panel R&R.

'94 Coupe. I want to replace my passenger side lower dash panel. I can usually figure things out. I am changing interior color.
There are three bolts that pinch the upper and lower panels together, that hold the lower panel in. I don't see any access to these bolts. I have found the screws, on the end, under the fuze cover. No problem there.
Thanks in advance.

Someone must have taken one of these off?

I believe your talking about the pass/side a/c vent. If you are, remove the small louvered section in the center of the vent by prying from the bottom with a small screwdriver. This will expose some screws. after removing them, remove the whole vent, gently, the plastic breaks easily. Shud be three nuts holding the lower trim pane.

Can't remember, except the courtesy light & some heating vent near the bottom of the t/pad.

IIRC this was the procedure I used on my 95. Hope it works for you?

Default Thanks for the reply and help.

That is exactly what I need. I thought that the center piece my snap in and out, but was affraid to pry on it. And yes, I can see three bolts inside there that pinch everything together, just can't get to them.
So if I break that center piece when I pry on it, I can buy yours from you?
Thanks for the help. I will give it a shot.

Default You are the Man.

A simple task when you know which piece of plastic to pry on.
I owe you one.
Thanks.
