Default DIY for 2004+ RX330 Dash Removal

Our dash has a bunch of cracks on it and I am going to retrieve a new one from the junk yard. Does anyone know where I can find instructions to take apart the dashboard?

Hmmm never seen one. However I think if you have the repair manual there will be instructions on how to. You can get it on ebay from this guy for $10. I got it and it's great.

this is one big job, i did a couple when i worked at Acura. you will need to do alot, (such as remove steering column, front seats, etc.

the other problem is that once replaced, you will have creaks and squeaks galore.

the method i would go would be to contact your dealer and have them refer you to a repair shop. believe it or not, your dash cracks can be repaired seemlessly, in the meantime, i would start moisturizing your dash, 303 aerospace protectant is excellent, it even has an SPF factor.

the repair is probably guaranteed, and you will get your car back in a few hours, instead of a DIY lasting 1-3 days. (depends on talent)
