I am looking at refinishing some interior panels and was wondering how they come out. 1) The clock housing in the center of the upper dash. 2) The air vents that are above the radio. 3) The center console that is around the ashtray and the shifter. If someone has a how to or can explain how these come off I would appreciate it.

Thanks

 

the shifter panel just pops up wit a screw driver i think

 

I forgot to mention I do have an Automagic

 

anyone else on the other stuff???

 

To remove the vent above the radio, stick a flat head screwdriver on a side and pop it out.

 

To add to Ammi's comments for the Top vents: try to pull "up and out" toward the rear view mirror (ie. at a 45 degree angle upward). The first time you remove it, it seems like hell, but you'll eventually nudge it out.

The clock is the easiest to remove, just pull "up" (toward the ceiling) and it will pop out.

Hope that helps you fratzke7..

 

Thanks, I will try that tonite

 

center console around the automagic shifter pops out with screw driver. for the vents i just stuck my fingers in the bottom vent slot and pulled. its a biatch. what are you doing to the pannels?
