Default Dash Pad

do they have studs with nuts or the clips like the trim panels across the dash? ive been told they can be either or. ive never removed one since all the dashpads at junkyards have been either damaged or overpriced.

If you're talking about the front pad that goes from the steering column all the way to the passenger side (above the radio) then I would really like to know as well. Mines cracked and I cracked one at the junkyard trying to get it off so..

when i removed mine, i removed the stereo and let the glove box hang down so i could get under the dash. after that, i just removed all the nuts and it came right off.

from what i heard its either 7 nuts or 7 snap in clips. radio and glovebox has to be removed. problem is all the dashpads at junkyards are worse than mine.

practice on a junkyard dash pad. so when you find a good one, you wont mess anything up (nearly impossible)
