Need help - 93 Dash removal

[ukviper]

OK, have all the screws out, the center console is out, so now all that seems to be holding the dash in are the clips at the top. How do you "unclip" or remove them? Dont want to start yanking and bending incase I break it, any body have tips on how to remove them?

Cheers,
Nick

Yep, it's scary, huh?

I was lucky enough to have a fellow VCA member in my 'hood when I decided to pull mine off and give me a little coaching. Basically, just get your hands under the edges as close to the clip as you can and pull firmly and steadily. Those things are on there, and even though you think you're gonna snap it it's pretty resilient. A little time, patience and well-placed pressure will get it off of there. It's scary the first time, but you'll be okay!

Did you pull from the top or from the bottom? I am thinking I work from the right side (passenger side) first and move across..I think once you get the first one they become easier.

just pull straight up. dont try to bend or anything. they might be stiff from corrosion a little bit. dont worry, its pretty solid. the tough one is the center radio surround and you already have that done. working from the passenger side and going to the drivers side is what i did. as soon as the first one pops, they all pop.
