Tutorial: How To Remove Centre Top Dash Panel

[Rdster]

Drop down the glovebox as explained in the owner's manual.

Grab a powerful torch.

Shine the torch up through the open area under the dash towards the direction of the left hand corner of the centre dash panel. You will spot a light grey V shaped part pointing downwards.Push up on this piece.Presto, you have popped the corner of the centre dash panel.Lift panel gently upwards from the top of the dash.That's it!

You don't remove the glovebox.Just let it flop down, once you have removed the clip from the left hand corner.

I have provided the page in question below.

I hope roadster reads back to this he seems quite clued up on pulling the car apart, I am putting in a boost gauge and mounting it on the windscreen surround drivers side, the pannel/trim doesn't seem to want to come out without a fight, the boss (my wife) caught me trying to get it off- the trim that is, and I think I had better make sure it comes off with out anything fancy being done.
