How do you remove the dash on a 1996 caprice?

Answer 1

To remove the dash locate the 7mm hex screws that hold the lower edge of the dash to the car. Remove all visible screws. Pull out the ashtray and remove four more 7mm Hex screws and then unplug the little light assembly. Remove the ashtray drawer. Put the parking brake on, turn the key to on, and move the shift lever down to L1. Remove the two 7mm hex screws that hold the black instrument cover on, these are located at the top of the instrument cluster. After this has been removed, see another hex screw on the left wall inside the instrument cluster. Remove it as well. The rest of the dash snaps out but you must pull straight towards yourself and do not rock or twist the dash panel . It will snap out. It is very easy to break the little plastic nibs that hold the dash panel on.
