How do you take the dash out of a 1995 Buick Lesabre?

Answer 1

Hey krystal==This is a VERY BIG JOB. I suggest you take it to a auto trim shop. GoodluckJoe

Hey I own a 1995 Presidential, to remove the dash I know as far as the front plate that trimes out the radio and controls is mostly clips that u can pop out but first there are Philips head screws in each vent. If u look at the top of the vent(inside the vent) at the top u will find a screw. After you take those out , it's clips on the top of the dash, u get the top to pop out pull firm but with caution. Then u tip the top away lifting it up and the bottom, it lifts right out. when u go to put it back in place use tape such as electrical or masking tape. Tape over the screw hole in the inside of each vent pop the screw in the tape to help u put the screws back in. Good Luck!!!

P.S.Shift on the column in 1st, and tilt your steering wheel all the way down to finish getting it out.

First, you'll need to remove the wood trim from the dash. It is held in by a series of clips, so it's just a matter of carefully popping the trim out. Once the wood trim pieces are removed, next you'll remove the vents from the black trim of the dash. Turn them all the way to one side and pull as best as you can. They will pop out (although you might need a screwdriver to wedge in behind if they don't come right out). Removing the wood trim and vents will reveal approximately 10 (don't recall the exact #) torx head screws. Remove those, and then you can remove the black dash panel (you might need to shift the car into neutral to get the panel out). Then, the radio will be exposed. Remove the two remaining screws and then the radio. The plugs clip in and can be stiff to remove. From there, connect your new radio (if it's factory, just plug it in) and then reassemble the dash.

Although after reading the answer above me, I am thinking they might be Phillips head. Either way, there are screws to remove...

Not sure what you mean by "dash", but I'm thinking you're referring to the instrument bezel. If so, here goes. Tilt the steering wheel down to it's lowest position. If, for some bizzare reason, you have a column shifter, put the shifter down in L1. Now, just get a firm grip on both sides of the bezel and YANK straight back (it's held in place by small clips on the back side). Now you can unplug the connectors and you're done!

You will need a 7mm socket, socket wrench, socket extension.

Surprisingly, it is a pain, but when u open the front doors (if you have a 4 door, my car was only a 2 door) Theres panels u can pop out on each side, there will be screws there take them out (on the left side there will be a fuse box) Then in the center of the dash you have to take out your defroster, unscrew that. Then in your glove box there is 2 screws way up (which u need an extension for to reach) unscrew them, then there should be several more in the glove box to unscrew. pop that baby lose, and the whole thing will come off, then you have 4 more screws to take off for the casing around the steering wheel and the radio. boom u can get access to put in an after stock radio.

Hi,

I just replaced my factory stereo that only had a cassette with another factory one with a CD player. It is pretty easy to do. There is only one screw (under the fuse panel cover on the passenger side of the dash) to remove. The rest of the dash surrounding the stereo is just held in with push pins, so just carefully pull it off. You will probably have to tilt the steering wheel down and move the shift lever to make it easier to pull off. After the dash is off, there is only 2 screws holding the stereo in place. Take out those screws...unplug the single pug wire harness and antena. Then just plug the new one in, put the 2 screws back in, replace the dash, put the screw back in, and replace the fuse panel cover.

If you're putting in an after market stereo, you will need an install kit (avalable on eBay for about 20 bucks), That will have a wire harness that fits into your factory plug, and antena adaptor for the smaller GM plug, and a dash mounting kit so your smaller radio fits in the larger (double din) hole in the dash.

Answer 5

I had to remove the instrument panel on my '92 PA and had that same problem. There are some obvious screws under the dash that need to be removed. But you need to remove two hidden screws that are in each air vent in the dash. Good luck.

The 1998 Chrysler Town and Country dashboard is held in place with 8 retaining clips. Remove the retaining clips, to remove the dashboard.
