I need help removing these pieces on my 06 Monte Carlo. They're circled in the image... Im going to paint them and need them removed. Does anyone know how? Ill also need help on how to paint it so if anyone knows that as well to help me. Thanks

 

 

Thanks! I dont want to mess it up so thats why im asking for some options.. Im most likely going to paint it red so that my interior will be black and red to match the outside of my car

 

Highly doubt they come off that easy lol, heres a video for 00-05, but i would imagine its similar for 06-07

 

Thanks Ill see if it can be done

Posted above to bump this thread & hopefully get a member that has removed these panels to paint (?)

Member's, please post/share/help > thanks

 

I changed my mind about painting it red. I have something else that im going to do for it stayed tuned... But I do want to paint my door panels instead. Anyone know how to remove the door panels and what kind of paint I should use?

 

I knew I kept these pictures for a reason. It is all one piece and it all snaps in. Adjust the steering wheel all the way down and carefully work the tabs. The pictures show where the slots are - it helps to know where to put pressure.

Wiggling the gauge cluster part takes patience. Weak spot is to the right of the gauge cluster. I used a plastic car interior prying tool.

Wow, why does it have to be so complicated in the 6th gens

 

The snap together dash is amazingly rattle/squeak free too.

I want to put a speaker for my standalone bluetooth mod in the grey plastic strip that is below the cluster, and have some cool grill pattern drilled into it.

and the worst dashboard I ever had to disassemble just to change out the stereo is on a 2000 Honda CRV. Took so many parts off it felt like I was going to find the engine block after the next piece.
