you dont remove it you just drop the steering column.... just so its out of your way and you dont break any of the turn signal or wiper knobs when your pulling the dash out^^^ yeah i need helms, i will pm you. um... i broke it due to me being lazy. i know it isnt that hard. i had everything out except the steering wheel. make sure you remove it or else you will get a broken window as well.
I got a cx too so wipers was the way to go for me. At first I didnt know how, takes like 2 min to do both sides. When I took out the dash I had no prob going over the wheel. got jiggle it a bit but it'll budge.I have a CX so the option of dropping the column doesn't exist for me. I know what you are all saying. I tried to remove those signal and wiper arms. I guess you live and learn. I now know how to do it properly.
I get whole interiors dirt cheap around here. The local wrecker I go to they gave me a whole interior for 100 bucks. And by whole I mean every single thing in the car. Headlinder, carpet, dash, door panels, rear panels, steering wheel, cluster, climate control, seats, seat belts, rear seats...EVERYTHING. The one I got was minttt. No one here ever touches the interior, just engine and interior parts. I see the dash alone on ebay going for 100 plus shipping which is a rip off.^^^ im the exact way as you. i painted every little thing. i cant stand knowing that i didnt change something. i wouldve much rather just swapped for black but around here you cant find any trashed black interior ones.
like a hatch do u mean the rear hatch tailgate thingy? 125 is to much, I can get it for 20 buxall i can say is, you are lucky. i could only wish for that. this autowrecker here is trying to charge me 125 for a rusted hatch. no way. what you get that for?
