Re: Dash pad removal

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yea I checked with just dashes, 650 clams. Seems kinda ridiculous, especially for that little piece that it is. Little over a foot long not even a foot wide. The cardboard is already out if the glovebox cause I have a radio mounted in there, I figured it would be a major pain removing it...if they made a dash mat that was turquoise I'd just get that and be happy for a while. Be better for the dash anyways, keep it from that merciless Louisiana sun.

>> I was bored the other day before I wen back to work, I was trying to figure out how to remove the dash pad out of the dash in the 880. It doesn't say in the shop manual, and after looking I can't figure it out. I was gonna go ahead and see how to do it when I finally save up the money and get the stomach to pay the ridiculous amount to get it repaired. Man I wish there was another way. :-(
