How to Remove Center
Fascia Panel
I need to remove and re-install the two-piece center
fascia panel prior to installing my eDashKit which I
should receive shortly. The only finish "defect" I could
find is that the two pieces don't sit flush along the
seam; the top is higher on the outsides and lower in the
middle. I'm sure that with a little shimming I can get
them both flat.
The service manual shows removing
the two screws at the ash tray but the lower piece won't
budge. Surely I don't have to remove the floor console
first. Has anybody replaced their radio that can give me
some pointers?

Re: Removing center

Not Sure exactly what you mean! You don't really need
to remove the dash fascia panel to install the wood dash.
What exactly you are trying to do. Why do you need to
remove the fascia panel anyway.
Too remove the lower
fascia panel; here is how:
1. remove the ashtray
2.
remove the 2 screws as the ashtray holder
(Click on image to open up in full size)
3. push the
lower panel (under ashtray) down with strength and then
pull the lower panel out with strength also.
remove upper fascia panel:
1. remove lower
panel first as list above
2. remove 2 screws under
the stereo panel when lower panel is out then you will
see that 2 screws

3. pull the upper panel out with
strength as well.

Re: Removing center

you need to pull with some force, but pull straight out
towards you. grip the panel from in the ash tray holder.
Remember, its plastic, so use some care, and the
tabs are not the thickest I have see, so watch out.

Re: Removing center

Thanks for the replies. "With force" is the key
phrase.
This is just preparation for the trim
kit. The top corners of the lower fascia went in farther
than the top piece while the center portion stuck out a
little further than the top piece. All very minor, just
wanted a good flat seam before installing the
kit.
Been waiting over 2 weeks for my eDashKit,
nobody can tell me if its been shipped or not. FWI,
Will said they have a new process now (within the last
two weeks) that "helped them with some of the pieces and
fitting".

Re: Edashkit.com
I finally received the full 30 piece set from Edash on
June 25th. I have not yet installed the same.
I
placed the order on June 2 and they took the money out
of my account on June 6th. They told me on June 22 that
there had been a mix-up with their shipper and all 22
Hyundai Santa Fe kits that had been shipped the previous
week had to be reshipped on June 21. Will at Edash was
correct that my kit would arrive by the following
Tuesday. It arrived at my office on Monday
afternoon.
My problem is that I also ordered and
paid an additional $25.00 for the extra piece that goes
on top of center dash console and it was not with the
kit they sent me. I contacted Will again last night and
asked him about having to return the entire set and he
told me today that he would let me know. I am afraid to
install the kit until I have all 31 pieces because of
alignment and matching problems.
This has not
been a very pleasing experience... to date.
Also,
I ordered the "WeatherFlectors" window vents from
MacNeil Automotive last night. Here's hoping they don't
take 3 weeks to get me my product and that they don't
leave out one of the 4 pieces.
