How to Remove the Dashboard From a Citroen
The dashboard of a Citroen may become exposed to too much sun, crack, or become damaged. If this happens it is a fairly easy process to remove dash and replace it by following a few simple steps. The dash can be removed within an hour or so.
Instructions:
- Remove the negative battery cable from the Citroen's battery to prevent any electrical damage while removing the dashboard. Be gentle while putting the cable in a position where it will not come in touch with any metal that will create sparks.
- Begin by entering through the front of your Citroen. Find the screws that hold the glove compartment together and in place. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws and pull the glove compartment away from the dash.
- Find the screws that hold the rubber bezel around the instrument cluster and remove the screws with a screwdriver. Pull the bezel from the cluster and remove the front face plate away from the radio.
- Abstract the mounting screws that hold the instrument cluster and the radio in place and remove the electrical wiring from the rear of both compartments. Slide them both from the dash and keep the screws because you will need them later in order to reattach.
- Remove the other screws that hold the lower dash panels together and gently lift the lower dash panels from the Citroen. Make sure you do not damage interior.
- Remove the rest of the screws that hold the upper dash panels together and finish the job by taking out the rest of the upper dash panels.
