06SubLegTx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited March 14, 2017 by 06SubLegTx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 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. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06SubLegTx Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
