Dash Removal

Tools

 * 1) #2 Phillips screwdriver.
 * 2) Various pliers, or cutters
 * 3) Slot screwdriver. Great for everything.
 * 4) 10mm deep socket and 3 in. extension, for bolts in the rain tray.

Steps
Remove kneebar if your car has one. Remove center console.

Remove rain tray under hood.

Remove the two bolts under the hood. They are hard to find. Here's where they are.





And the drivers side. This one is a pita. You can reach it through the wiper assembly, if you've got the extension pictured above. If you don't, well, good luck. Just go buy the extension, and the deep 10mm socket. You're going to need to hold down the wiring harness, and feed the socket, through the wiper arms. You can see the bolt, if you look, but make sure your engine bay is somewhat clean, or you'll look like I did, with dirt all over my jacket.





Next, is these 2 screws. In alot of the other threads I found, people said these were 8mm, or whatever, on my car, they were #2 Phillips screws.





You may need to remove the steering wheel. Some people have had success removing the dash without removing the steering wheel. I used a 15/16" socket, don't ask, it fit.



When you're done, you have a dash, and a goofy looking interior." The_Rabbitman via VWVortex
