So I was taking out my dash in my dc yesterday, and it got stuck around the steering wheel area. So I proceeded to fiddle with the dash and try different positions to try and sneak it out and around the steering column. Little to my knowledge, while I was tweakin it, the da.mn dash cracked my windsheild. So I just wanted everyone to know, try to actually remove the steering wheel before you go and try to remove the dash. It will save you time, money, sweat and a headache, not to mention a fu.cked up window. EnjoI

You could have just dropped the steering column.

What?

 

I did, still wasn't enough room

 

Thanks, fixed

 

Why did your dash crack your windshield? I seem to be confused here.

 

That actually happend to my friend before. If you remove your steering wheel, it's 1000 times easier.

 

Mine came out without a problem.....

 

its actually pretty common if u do a search around here on dash removals. Some learn the hard way

 

LOL.

I appreciate this educational thread.

That's exactly what I did

 

Yeah, it was the corner of the dash, above the air vent. It's really firm cause of how the foam in the dash is. Luckily, I work at my families body shop and the window is cheap, around 100 bones and install is free lol.

 

well now that you have learned to remove the steering wheel first... just some advice for putting it back in... It can happen just as easy be gentel with it. But i guess since its crack just finish what your doing then get the window fixed

 

now i know why the windshield on my old DA was cracked when i went to recover it stripped, couldnt figure that out.

 

well hot damn, I will make sure I remember this..... even though a nice fresh windshield sound like something I wouldnt mind buying.

 

always remove steerin

 

I've removed a lot of Integra DC dashes before without a problem by just dropping the steering column. Never even came close to having this sort of problem

 

drop or ake off columb, got it
im planning on taking mine off here real soon thanks man
