Order of Reinstall
« on: October 18, 2023, 19:05:02 »
2 Questions for today.  When taking all the parts out of the dash it all seemed to work ok.  But now thinking about putting it all back is there a specific order that I should follow?  I have everything out Wood/Speaker/Radio/Gages/Blower/Wiper Motor and Assembly.. I can just want my videos and go backwards but just thought I would throw it out there if there was some specific new order that make the reassembly easier.

When I did my dash I reinstalled starting with the wood trim piece and the radio and then from the driver side moving right. I had access from the right side of what I was installing and you need all the space you can to work putting things back together. The final piece would then be the glovebox. I'm sure there are others that may have done it different but that's how I did mine and no issues with install.
