How do I remove the dash pad?
How do I remove the padded part of the dash? This is the squishy piece that starts above the radio and is above the glove box. Mine is split and nasty looking and I would like to switch it from my spare dash. I have seen them for sale separately. Thanks.

Replaced mine not too long ago. It was cracked up, and I painted the new one to break up the red interior.
Dash pad=$8.change (Junk yard doner/red)
Paint=$2.50 (Krylon flat black)
Cold beer=$1.30
Results=Priceless
Before;
Get a stereo removal tool, for the two nuts are above and to the sides. 10mm I believe. A 1/4 inch socket set will be the way to go, close quarters on some of the nuts.
There are a total of 8, the doner pad I got had 2 on the stereo side, where my old one didn't.
Let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys. I will try to get some pictures when I get around to to doing this. HrdDrv: My dash pad is nowhere near as bad as that. I only have one little split about an inch long. But It still drives me crazy. Thanks again.

Well, its all done. I swapped the dash pad, glove box, the piece under the steering wheel, and the trim around the heater *****. Previously I swapped the seat, headliner, and all other interior trim panels except the kick panels and the dash itself which are light gray, everything else is dark gray. Then I broke out the ArmorAll and drank some beer. I will get some pictures sometime, I want to create a gallery. Thanks everyone for the advice, I'll stop talking now
