Dust under glass in dash

kpinks · Aug 15, 2012

I know this sounds a bit anal, but I have dust flakes now appearing inside the glass on my speedometer and tac. Is there an easy way to get in there to remove the dust specs, as it drives me crazy? I believe it is because the seal around the top of the steering column is not sealing properly.
Thanks in advance

Im at docs office, so this is off the top of my head.....u may have to remove a pillar "oh sh_t handle" which is 2 bolts.

Then a bolt on the right of the bottom part of the console (lift up a lil plastic flap)....and I THINK 1 more on the left.....remove the lil tray on the lower right corner, I think there's a bolt there.

Pop out switches.......

I also THINK. U have to remove kick panel..... pull up the door sill (no screws just clips u cannot see).....then pull the dead pedal straight out towards u......unscrew the lil black plastic cap u see holding the kick panel to the floor board.....then pull kick panel towards u.

Unscrew 2 black screws right by the speedo and tach....they face upward, tilting ur steering wheel down all the way may help get the screw driver in there.

From there, pull lower half of dash towards u and jiggle it a lil...

Running on 1 hour of sleep......hope this is atleast half right, if not hopefully someone else will correct my mistakes.

what about pushing some compressed air in there? I know it'll mostly just blow it around but it should get it off the glass
