Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Help removing dash

I'm tryin to get this part here (circled) but there seems to be a screw that i can't reach behind it. this is the piece around the fuse box. the head of the screw isn't visable only the tail. does anyone know how to get at it or if there's another way to take off this piece? thanks.



note: this is not my dash, just trying to show what part i'm looking at.

that panel just pops off to get to the fuse box. just pull off. hope this helps.

heh, i figured that one, i ment the plastic around the fuse box, from the glove box to the shifter.

Never taken that particular panel off before. You may want to take out the glove box to have a better view at what your're working with. There are just two fastners inside of the glovebox that twist and pull out and the door will lay all the way down. Just curious, why are you trying to get this panel off? Hope that helps..good luck

I'm paintin it... i already have the glove box off and i still can't figure out how to get the piece off

i havent taken that panel off before either, but i think i remember seing something when installing my ss. you may need to take out the center console/dash-and ya popping the glove box down for a better view is a good idea . hope this helps

Edit: looks like you already did the glove box. i'm sure someone will reply who has removed that particular piece.

Here's a pic of the screw i'm talking about...

hmm not sure, have you removed the whole "center dash/console" to see if it will allow you to get to that screw? hopefully someone can help, i'd go take my "center dash/console" off just because i'm curious but i'm on lunch right now and have to go back to work .

I have no idea.

hah, this is harder than i thought, tried removing the panel under the steering wheel and i can't get the hood release off! maybe i should have left this to a professional...

just keep trying and you will get it. Just think of how good it will look when you are done. Post pics when you get it complete.
