You may need to replace the dashboard of your car. How to do it? There are screws and specific clips that you can leverage without forcing too much. To remove the dashboard, first, remove the two Allen screws located at the sides, on the lower panels, near the air vents for the feet.

Near the bottom of the ashtray or in the glove compartment, there are another two Allen screws that also need to be removed. Once the 4 screws of the dashboard are removed, proceed to detach it. Be aware that there are clips present, and you must proceed with caution.

If you are not careful, you could break plastic clips or damage electrical wires.
