Yup, one very sore back and blood that is still stuck in my head from being
upside down with my feet in the headliner,I can't believe I can still contort
like that, I can say that 5 out of the 6 fasteners were a b---h to get at with
an ac equiped vehicle. I also found that taking the radio out helped with the
whole process. Next step is to remove the facia trim from the dash and hope
that the glue is fried enough to not leave a residue so I can pull the pad up
and out. Fortunately, my neighbors understand @$#%^&*(()*&^%%$$$%^&(*&%$$^&*( )
english. My good pad is in a non ac car so at least I won't have to mess with
the hoses and vents.
