Ok, took my car to a detailing place so they could repaint my bumper, which was cracked, and also detail the car. Got it back and was missing this. Not sure what its called so hard to search for. If anyone knows, please help so I can get them to replace it. Thanks!


As you can see this is looking right above the pedals and below steering wheel.

 

and why dont you just go get it back from the place?

 

I tried, but they said they didn't have it. Even made them check their trash cans and other vehicles there. Owner said he'd replace it but he needs part's name at the very least. Part # would help immensely I'm sure. Thanks folks!

 

Missing what, exactly? There are probably three dozen parts in the pictures you posted alone.

I see no arrows or marks of any kind

 

Agreed. Point to what you're talking about please....

 

ok, thats the pic of your car missing the cover for the dashboard the bottom

part of the dashboard, I am not sure what you call it though.

 

No I believe He talking about that Plastic cover at the bottom of the steering colum? am I right?

Yea, the thing that covers all that. sorry i didn't realize how vague i was being when i wrote it :P But yea the cover, thanks all!

 

woot 3 pats on the back for me, hope that helps. It only costs about 15 bucks at a stealership, no big hasle

 

Anyone happen to have a pic of this either in the car or out? just wanna make sure before I order it. Also, much thanks for the help. this has been driving me crazy.

 

Just curious, How was it removed? Its held on by 3 nuts, and to goes around the actuall steering colum. theres no way it shouldve jsut fallen off

 

I wish I knew. The morning i took the car in, i dropped it off. went to work. Picked it up later that day, they said they needed the car again so could put another coat of paint, something bout the weather not letting it dry quick enough or something. Got the car home and noticed it missing, hit them up about it and next day they searched, with me there, for it. My guess is one of the guys there took it off to clean it and behind it, though why i don't know. Hopefully can see a pic of it so i can tell him tommorrow how much he owes me and get a new one.

 

Wow some thread.

Lets see its a cover that covers under the dash....Could it be called the "under the dash cover"

 

lolz/.

 

One of the techs there has a Maxima project car at home! I would just pay the $15 to get it from the stealership if you're worried about it not being there. Only cosmetic really .... depends on how 'picky' you are. lol

Maybe you could be more curtious and not post at all if you don't have anything positive to add. I understand you're just trying to raise your post count so people think you know a lot. If you're going to post though, why not make it positive?

 

Thanks for the help everyone. Ordering the part tommorrow

 

so goddamn it allready, what the frick is it called???? jebus!!!!!

 

i still don't understand what's missing, 'cause that's how my car looks when you look up under the dash and THERE IS no cover for that area. there is nothing missing from my dash and that's how it looks!! anybody have a picture of the "missing part"

 

Upper cover joint, according to the links.

 

are the pics of your car or another just for reference? if they're from another car, i see & understand now what's missing. if that's your car, then i don't understand what is missing.

 

It's from my car. 97 GLE to be precise.

 

Haha I was trying to compare the picture to how my car looked under the dash and could not figure out what was wrong or missing, and half an hour later I still had nothing LOL!

 

are you trying to replace the black plastic tube in the picture or are thinking of some type of cover to hide the underdash area? since the tube is there and maximas don't have a cover to hide the underdash.....i'm wondering what part you're missing?!!! if i'm wrong...help me with a picture with the part in place.

 

I could have sworn there was a cover there because when i drive with my work boots the tip of it would hit something. thats how I noticed something was different. When i picked the car up, boots no longer hit anything. But i could be wrong. I just feel like there was some type of cover there thats no longer there. Doesn't look right to me.

 

I have never seen an A32 with an underdash cover on the driver's side.

 

Thanks Pmohr. I guess my boot must've just been hitting something else.
