I posted this in 03-07 Accord forum with no response, so I thought I'd try the folks that take dashes apart regularly! Just bought an '03 EX-L for my daughter and am sorting out the bugs and I'm stuck! The door on the big center pocket below the head unit will not stay closed! I was gonna take the box out and try to figure out the problem but I can't figure out how to get the sucker out! Don't want to break something being ham-fisted! I pulled up a parts breakdown picture that shows screws holding it as well as the change holder/power outlet in place. I popped the trim around the shifter up and exposed (2) screws going into the front of the change holder, but it still feels like it is hard fastened to something and I can't see any more exposed screws to take loose! Can someone give me a quick lesson in dash disassembly before I break something?
Thanks,
Dark

Not instructions for what you're trying to do, but step-by-step guide for dash disassembly.




edit: Ham-Fisted!! That's awesome... Never heard it put like that...

Thanks a bunch guys! That is EXACTLY what I needed!

Can't believe you never heard of "ham-fisted" before! I've heard it referred to all my life tinkering on bikes and it basically means using too much force, incorrectly and ususally in anger or frustration, which ususally results in breaking stuff! I have been deemed a professional in this technique!
