jeremy Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 what year/make/model are we talking about? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 I think there are 2 more under the cluster bezel, but it's been a couple years so I don't really remember that well. Quote
phantomFE3 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 good luck, i tried this summer and i took about 6 screws out and it still wouldnt budge, i hope you have batter luck than i do Quote
regalized Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 I had a 89 grand prix and the screws to remove the dash pad are in the glove box and there are two under the dash pad by the guage cluster, the rest is held on with clips when you remove the screws, pull up on the dash over the guages then pop it off on the other side, should come right off..........hope this helps Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 He's right. Take out the two screws above the cluster, then open your glove box and look up at the top. There's a hole in the glove box and if you feel around you'll find a screw. Take them out and push the dash up. It'll pop right off. Hint: The glove box door can open wider. Move the hinges around and they'll eventually come down. This gives you more room to work with. Quote
Bake82 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 good luck, i tried this summer and i took about 6 screws out and it still wouldnt budge, i hope you have batter luck than i do Thats probably because you didn't get the 2 screws in the front heater vents! Got me too! Quote

Man I was pissed it stumped me soo good too. FUCKING GM with screws in the heater vent of the dash!! :guns: Quote
BrianG Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Maybe I'm missing something here, but we are talking about the top of the dashboard, right?? The part that runs the whole width of the car? IIRC, the only screws you have to remove are ones in the gauge bezel. I think the screws on the glovebox are only for getting the stereo frame off. The dash pad is then also held on by some pretty strong clips that you just gotta overpower and pop the pad off. After youre done taking the screws out put your fingers under the pad in the middle and the pass side and just lift up real hard, should just pop off. Quote
regalized Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 ya dudes right 2 under the guages, and it pops off, i cracked mine when i pulled it off and i paid 10 bucks for another one at a salvage yard Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Dude, trust me, and ask Gearhead43 if you don't believe me. There's one in the glove box. Quote
Gearhead43 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 LMAO... YES there is one under the glove box. You can do like Digital said, and pop the hinges out of the way and let the glove box door swing all the way down OR you can remove the Glove box inner liner (4 phillips head screws) pull the box out, take a flashlight, shine it up there, and you'll see the head of a 7 mm screw going up into the dashpad. It that screw is not removed , you'll crack or rip off the mounting hold and the dash will never lie flat on the passenger side again ever. Digitaloutsider knows what he is talking about. He's done it just a few weeks ago.. Right Digital Quote
Gearhead43 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 Badasss... 88-93 will work...... But watch for the colored ones Quote

BrianG Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Well, I really dont know what you guys are talking about then cuz I've taken my dash pad off a few times and never had to go searching for screws hidden in the glovebox. My dash also lays perfectly flat without a problem. Quote

My dash also lays perfectly flat without a problem. Maybe your screw hole is broken out. I saw lots of them like this at the JY. There's definitely 1 screw above the glovebox. Quote
Gearhead43 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Badasss... 88-93 will work...... But watch for the colored ones colored ones? As in it wouldn't match my interior? That's right dude Quote
Marcus18 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Posted February 10, 2004 I can't find the ones under by the cluster. where it there are they? marcus Quote
Gearhead43 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Posted February 10, 2004 Not under the cluster but really under the I/P bezel (The trim piece that holds the headlight pod and wiper pods. This piece goes all the way across the pods under the dashpad. Sitting in the drivers seat look at the I/P then look like you want to look up under the dash overhang... You'll see 2 phillips head screws sitting right there. Just think of looking up a girl's skirt... Ok you get the idea!!! Quote
