are you serious?? cuz if you are, then you're wrong... just saying. You don't need to remove that at all.

 

[AzteCypher]

Making good progress. Looking forward to the rest.

the radio surroud is attached to the HVAC (a/c controls) with screws that are unaccessible
In order to remove the radio surroud you need to disconnect the temperature and fan direction cables, which are located under the steering wheel and behind the glove box

Making good progress. Looking forward to the rest.

thank you! I wish i could go as far as you mod-wise!

yeah, you don't need to remove the glovebox though. lol. all you need to do is pull the metal wire holders for the HVAC. i never have ever taken the glove box out. i just get on the pass side and disconnect the hvac controls. but that's a good idea.. either or.

I guess keeping the glovebox in place wouldnt have really mattered, but I wanted light to re-align the rubber cables correctly
thanks for the tip tho

 

[itsjbeck]

it makes it easier so you dont have to be an acrobat to get in the foot well. every time i try to get down by my pedals i feel like im pulling all sorts of muscles in the side/back.
