Are you saying you have or haven't got the console out? If not - you need to. Also wil need to lift acc pedal (or cut the carpet)

i meant dash. dash isnt out. centre console is out

I was rough and cut mine down the middle, and around the air/heater core thnig because it couldn't come out otherwise.. Disconnet the acc pedal and you can lift it over..

I dunno how it's gonna look when it goes back in TBH, The cuts will all be hidden, like down the middle of the driveshaft tunnel, but still.....

the previous owner took out the carpet without rips. magic if you ask me.

Same. done that when i restored my interior 6 months ago and holding up fine!

OP be carefull you dont catch the carpet on the clutch pedal pulling it out or you may break the Master cylinder. dont ask how i know (was broke anyways mind you so meh)
