this install took about 45 mins to 1 hr. and that's with dropping my 7mm socket, + 1 screw and there are a couple of steps that are a bit difficult like where the dash, console and silver lining piece all need to fit together. but there's no way I could have done this without jagaman's referral to the guys link. that link is awesome, he really took a lot of his own time to do this for us.....Wow, he's better than me.......

this is exactly what I needed thx!! except that I have a problem printing. when I go to the thread with the pics/text and print, the pics do not print....Can someone tell me how to do this. because the only way I can do this currently is to copy screen, pull up paint, paste, save image......a lot of steps. which I don't mind doing if I have to, however I think that there's a way to print this thread including pics except I just dont' know how.
thanks
thanks
Good luck.

Here's a pdf:
Edit. Hmm I've gotta figure out pdf linking.
Edit edit. Pdf linking on an iPad is more work than my brain can handle right now. Try printing to a pdf instead of a printer. See if that works. Lol

the weird thing is that the pics pull up on my phone, but I don't know how to send from phone to printer. i'll talk to our IT guy and see if there's a setting that needs to be altered. the sad thing is that I'm printing this out for my dealer, since he dented the angled piece where you first start to take pieces apart, and now the screen they replaced is doing the same thing!!! urrggg. they claim there is a bulletin, but cannot tell me if they have redesigned the screen or they are just going to keep throwing same screens at it over and over. I'm about to surpass warranty and would hope that if this new screen that they are going to put in goes out that it would still be "covered" under some sort of "well you never actually fixed my problem" courtesy....who knows.....

yes indeedy sir, I saw the thread "best $2.99 mod ever" and now stitching is yellow. I really wished that would have been an option, especially with so much seamwork.
