radio trim piece removal
« on: March 25, 2005 - 06:20:26 PM »
I'm trying to install an aftermarket radio in my cuda.  The problem is that I can't seem to find the screws that hold the outer dash trim piece on.  I'm talking about the piece that curves in front of the radio and is grained like the dash.  Do you have to pull the whole dash to get to its screws?  That's kinda how its looking.   :dontknow:    That would suck.   :(

You should be able to get them from the back but it`s a b!tch.Pull the ash tray door out and unscrew and remove the ash tray to help get to the screws on the right side.The other screws you have to get from under the dash either by climbing under or just finding them by feel.

I agre it can be done without removing the dash but is not fun , there are 3 screws in a row vertically beside the ashtray & 2-3 more along the bottom edge
