Removing complete dash assembly

Post by dpelder »

Hi has anyone removed the complete dash assembly and if so is it a fairly reasonable job? Mine has split so I need to get it recovered.
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but although I have had the car a few years I am new to posting on this forum.

Hi,
I have not done this but I think the Service Manual has fairly clear instructions if someone can locate that.
