Remove the panel! Posted by Ken [Email] (#2113) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ken) on Sat, 1 Jan 2005 07:17:33 In Reply to: dashboard missing screws, Steven W, Fri, 31 Dec 2004 15:08:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
As long as the screws are out, pull the panel. This way you can not only replace the bulbs easier, but you can secure the dash rheostat if that's giving you any challanges. But the main benefit will be to check the little plastic (easily broken) tabs on the panel through which the 4 screws pass. You can repair them and fabricate guide tubes out of drinking straws (or equal) to connect the upper and lower plastic tabs. These help guide those long screws to the imbedded threaded receivers in the upper dash lip.
Make sure those have not been stripped out!. Label all the wiring (particularly those wires going into the air distribution control) and if you have any problems post them here. Make sure you have the bentley nmanual to help you along.
Good luck: It's worth the hassle, believe me.
