Hello,

 

I am wanting to take out my Instrument Panel Pad.

 

Has anyone ever did this?  Is there a procedure for it anywhere?

 

Thanks for any help, Mike

Well yes we have done that several times. I would get yourself a service manual and review the procedure. It's about 8 to 10 hours to pull a dash and put it back in to replace (from example) a heater core.

Update: The parts guy at Subaru told be heard about a issue with some Subaru vehicles in the generation had the dash melting. He found the letter/bulletin and showed it to me.  It's what the technicians call "Sticky Dash".  The parts guy had my dash in his current inventory. I scheduled a appointment with the Service Department and 4 days later they installed the new dash, left vent. Total cost to me was $0.00 cost. It looks great, no reflections on the glass from the melting plastic or whatever it is made of.

 

As a thank you to the parts guy I gave him $100.00 cash and also purchased pizzas and soda the the entire Service Department that day.

 

I believe this is one way Subaru and it staff show that they do care what the Subaru owners think.
