To remove the dash:
  1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
  2. Remove the radio control knobs by pulling on them.
  3. Remove the four screws holding the steering column cover and remove the cover.
  4. Slide the rubber steering column molding at the base of the instrument bezel towards the steering wheel.
  5. Remove the eight screws along the perimeter of the instrument bezel and remove the bezel.
  6. Remove the four screws along the middle and right lower edge of face of the dash.
  7. Open the passenger door and remove the screw on the side of the dash.
  8. Tilt the face of the dash up and pull out to remove. (Clips under and in the rear of the dash align it to the base of the windshield).

Reverse the process to install dash.
Note:
  • Be sure to align the clips when installing the dash.
  • Be sureto align the air ducts to the corresponding vents while installing the dash and the bezel. (The passenger side ducts may be attached by accessing them from within the glove box.)
  • Do not overtighten screws.

Good job, benoit.
