The central tunnel of your car houses various devices and instruments: radio, controls, air vents, air conditioning, and auxiliary controls. This guide shows how to dismantle the dashboard. There are screws and specific clips that you can leverage without forcing too much. To remove the dashboard, first, remove the two hex screws located on either side of it, in the lower panels, near the foot air vents. Near the bottom of the ashtray or in the glove compartment, there are another two hex screws that also need to be removed.
