How do you disassemble the dashboard of the Mini R56?

Model: Mini Mini R57, R55, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Dashboard

In order to remove the dashboard of the Mini R56, you need to start by loosening all the screws that fix the panels, especially those located under the steering column and in the part immediately below the glove box on the passenger side. Then you will have to pry the upper central part of the dashboard, immediately above the central panel: this can be detached allowing you to unscrew the screws underneath, which fix the instrument panel and also the climate control panel below. By then disconnecting the appropriate connectors in the rear part, it will be possible to remove these components, replacing them with new pieces and re-installing the appropriate protection panels.
