Default C7 dash removal

The metal portion that attaches in this location - how hard is it to remove i? How much of the dash needs to come off to remove it? A passenger grabbed ahold of it and dented it.

Thank you. I have seen this video but it skips during the portion where you would remove that piece. If you watch that video from start to finish it is unclear at what point or what steps to just remove that piece.

Sorry I can't help, but the image of the cornering that must have been going on for that to happen has me smiling. :-)

i hope everything is back in shape easily for you.

Rooster - that helps a lot! It shows that a lot doesn't have to come off to get that piece replaced. Thank you!

yes cornering and hi speed/ acceleration was happening. Plus my brother had wedding ring on.

you remove all the bolts for that piece, and pull the area of the shifter up and back while you put the car into D or M and then the silver piece should just pop out. GL

No, I would say 4th gear. and then pry the center area to get it to lift and move back before you proceed to take the leather piece off that goes across the odometer to avoid scratching the leather. I have done 3 carbon dash installs in the past month from the link above. like eating cake now.

if you feel the need to call me I can tell you step by step. or facetime.
