    Wtf dashboard?!

    How the fuck do you get the stupid bitch clip at the bottom of the windshield in? I'm trying to replace a dash and I could have had it done tonight but that piece of shit clip was doing everything it could to not go in. :hitler:

    Any tips?

      srsly?

      These are pics from a dashboard swap DIY. The red thing in the middle of the dash under the windshield is the slot I'm talking about:



      And then under the 3 big squares in the middle of the dash, there's a bronze tab dealy that's supposed to go into the slot:

        Just swapped a dash today, didn't even have to try to get the center clipped in. Fought with the A pillar clips and the center clip just kind of did itself.

                What about the wiring? Getting it back where it was originally? That was easy, too. Hard part is that stupid mini dildo in the middle of the dash.

                      Maybe its bent? Mine was, I put the one from my old dash on it and it went in without a hitch.

                            I drove around dashless for 2 days, what a fun time it was.
                            I put the dash in last week, that thing just slid in when I started to bolt the side flappy things back in place.
