Hi All,
Going all in to remove old and re-install new dash pad, taking the suggestion that it’s best to do so by removing the dash from the car. Might as well look at insulation and deadening sound at the same time. Not yet committed to replacing OEM insulation, so want to preserve what I can during disassembly.
Problem: how to remove 12 “Clips-Dash Liner” (357036-S100) to remove “Insulator Assembly - Dash” panels intact, without damage? I’ve wrestled with my share of mystery fasteners, but these I can’t pry out, pull out (even with vice-grips), or screw out. Hoping there’s a trick somebody here knows.
