Removing the Centre Panel of a Subaru Forester

Model: Subaru Forester SG, MK 2 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Dashboard

This video illustrates how to remove the centre panel of the air conditioning system in a second-generation Subaru Forester. As the first step, sit in the driver's position and ensure the vehicle is off, with the instrument panel also off, as you will be dealing with electrical components. First, detach the air vent panel and disconnect the connectors attached to it. Once the gear console is removed, you will have full access to the climate panel. Now, lever with your hand and detach the dashboard from the car body. Once detached, disconnect the connectors linked to the climate control as well.
