It is cracked and I would like to replace it. How do I remove the top part of the dashboard? I can get the part from a pick and pull. I just don't know how to remove.

Hi,

I believe you are referring to what is called the crash pad. It is the upper portion of the dash.

If you look below, I have attached the removal and replacement directions. Take a look through them and let me know if that is what you are referring to.

Please make sure the battery is disconnected prior to doing this. You will need to work around the passenger side airbag. Allow the battery to be disconnected at least 30 minutes before starting.

Also, let me know if I can help.

Take care,

Joe
