Dash Removal
Dash Removal
It happend a while back and i thought i'd fixed it by removing all the fuses and connectors, drying them off and sealing round the bottom of the windscreen, where the rubber had perished. Iv'e had the car washed plenty of times since and the weather has been bad, so i thought i'd sorted it, until yesterday, when it started to do the same thing.
Obviousley the leak is somewhere else, so im thinking of taking out the dash so i can have a proper look or any other sugestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Evening folks, how hard would it be to remove my dash ? The reason im asking is that the dreaded alarm going off, petrol gauge light flashing, E showing on the temp gauge etc.

While its out you can paint the scratched bits - if there any.

well the windscreen will be bonded in so if there was a leak through there it would have been doing it from the start either when the screen was replaced or from factory the rubber is just cosmetic
