There's three reasons why you might need to remove the dashboard:
1. Airbag deployment
2. Servicing the HVAC box
3. Swapping dashboards to match interior colors
The black leather interior on the Camry is quite rare, as most models come with a boring gray cloth interior. Removing the seats, carpet, console and door panels are quite straight forward, however the dashboard can appear daunting at first. Fear not, with this step by step guide it's actually ALOT easier than you'd think!
The first few steps involve removing everything around the dashboard.
On the lower section that means removing:
- center console
- lower dash trim (drivers side)
- glove box (passenger side)
- door sills and kick scuff plates
On the upper side that means removing:
- HVAC and stereo
- Dash vents
- Tweeters
- A-pillar trims
- Instrument cluster
- Steering wheel
- Passenger airbag bracket
Once the dash is down to its bare top, there are a few screws that hold it to the rebar and it will pop free from the base of the windshield.
The passenger airbag is attached to the dash top itself, and is removed as an assembly from the vehicle.
The black interior was sourced from a Toyota Camry SE. Total cost was roughly $400.
