99-06 Chevy 1500 2500 / Gmc Sierra / 2002 Escalade / Avalanche How To* Top Dash Cover Removal.

[@m.weston7114]

Use a dash cover. A guy that collects vintage trucks, told me to use a use a cloth soaked with transmission fluid and put onto the entire dash plastic twice a year. it does not need to be dripping wet, but apply it so it has a sheen to the dash. He had cars from the 50's that the plastic dash looked new because he did this to them. I do this twice a year, but wash down the dash first with soap and water, when it dries, then do this application.

[@Zacpactv]

I may try that! Transmission fluid is very absorbent.

[@jcmexfreestyle]

a factory new dash cost me about $100+ tried going to junk yards but all these Chevy's are either all salvaged or broken from crash or by sun weather aging also great video either way not much Chevy restoring vids out there.

[@Zacpactv]

Thanks man you are absolutely right about cracked dashes in used chevys. I pulled mine from an avalanche to be exact almost forgot ha! Send the link for the 100.00+ oem dash. Chevys owners need to know!!

[@oneeightyd0wn]

[@Zacpactv]

good to hear man! Thanks for the feedback.

[@joshuamann2171]

I pulled those push releas pins out. I'm here trying to figure out how to take that off.

[@Zacpactv]

@@joshuamann2171 pull the vents out to access pins.

[@joshuamann2171]

@Zacpactv those are the pins I removed, thinking they were locking the handle in place. I found one and had to switch it back and forth while I worked the handle out, one side at a time.

[@StaineLaSteele304]

You skipping the part about removing the bezel tells me you broke it. Or you spent too much time trying to remove it without breaking it. An important tip about removing the bezel would 5:27 be to put E brake on, turn key as far as you can without starting and put the vehicle in Overdrive 3(or as far down the shifter will go) makes it so much easier to remove. I have seen alot of broken bezels and seems to be the most common to brake when removing the dash

[@Zacpactv]

No breakage the camera wasn’t recording 😢. Good point on playing with the shifter!
