Car Forum / MINI / July 2006Clubby dash trim
I've got troubles getting the dash trim out of my '73 Clubman van. How do I get the screen rail out? I've got the screen rail loose but can't get the two bolts to clear. I've pulled out the backing card for the shelf and disconnected the demister hoses (actually they crumbled to dust). Also, I'd appreciate a pointer on how to get the shin protector of the shelf too. Thanks in advance, Graham If it's a Clubman Van, I take it your from Australia? Or do you have a Mini Clubman Estate? Taffy Taffy, It is an Australian panel van. I've had a thought overnight that the demister vents probably unscrew. Graham > If it's a Clubman Van, I take it your from Australia?

Thanks. [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> > Is there a nut in the middle behind the ashtray? I agree with Jo. My mini has three nuts on threaded studs that hold the panel in place. One either side above the air vents, (it is easier if you undo the four screws that hold the air vent in place and remove it before hand), and one in the centre behind the ashtray. Once these are undone it just takes a little persuasion to remove the panel, although the centre stud can become a tight fit against the bodywork. Hope this helps Vic >> Is there a nut in the middle behind the ashtray? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Vic Thanks, fellas. I couldn't see another stud but I'll have a harder look now that there might be another one. There is certainly something holding it. The air vents seem to be held by self tapping screws coming down from the top. I can see their ends below but not their heads from above so the grilles are covering them. |
