Re: dash pad replacement
Actual screws..4
however, on the back side (under dash) there are 6 or so nuts. 3/8 head if memory serves, but it's been a couple years. If you have A/C, it'll be a real PITA. Inst panel removal and glove box liner removal makes it 10 times easier. |

Re: dash pad replacement
Yeah, you need to use a little hand driver and reach way up behind the dash and feel for those little buggers. There were 6 of them on mine if memory serves. One right behind the center of the glovebox that required the glovebox liner to be removed.

Re: dash pad replacement
Its the inside corner edge ones that drive me nuts trying to get too...the one above the radio aint so easy to get either. I used to have a little 1/4 inch drive flex shaft driver that I put the socket on..that worked good.
