To fully remove all the sound deadner, yes you will need to pretty much dismantle the whole interior including the dash.
To remove the dash follow the write/walk through at: www.jdmrice.com
under the installs menu. There are alot of good pics and evrything is pretty straight foward.

yea just follow that link, not that hard of a job, just be carful with your dash and dont force it out or bump it on the car or something, there pretty fragile when out of the car. dont want it to crack. that happened to me, so ghey. spent $40 on a mint dash and installed it then noticed 2 hairline cracks over the steering wheel. gotta be fragile with em. good luck
Where did you get a dash for $40?

i got mine on ebay for like 15 bucks. no cracks. i had to take out my hud, but it was broken anyways so it's ok. But you can't beat $15!
Just remember that you have to lower the steering column to remove the guage cluster. and try not to damage anything while doing it.

this is a post for redoing a cracked dash but it will explain everything.
My Installation & Review of the Nissan 240SX 1989-1994 dash overlay manufactured by Coverlay Mfg. part #10-890.

Coverlay dash covers are vacuum-molded from the original dash to give an original look and a perfect fit. Made from thick, durable ABS plastic, Coverlay dash covers will not crack under extreme hot or cold temperatures. This product is a restorative piece & intended for those who want to restore the interior of their car to a new-like status.

Initial impression with this product is Excellent. This is a factory black dash cover. It is rigid but flexible & duplicates the look, feel & curves of the original perfectly.
Dash removal is NOT necessary! Installation is just a matter of applying glue & sliding it over, since it fits like a glove.

Included with this kit is-
(1) dash overlay
(1) bottle silicone glue
(1) set of directions

What you’ll need tool wise is-
Glass cleaner with ammonia (such as Windex©)
Utility knife (to trim if needed)
Sandpaper (to sand down cracks if needed)
Tape (not required, but helpful)
1) Getting started, clean surface of dash with Windex©, removing all traces of preservatives, oil etc. Surface must be clean & dry.
2) Place silicone glue in a cup of hot water until warm to facilitate ease of application.
3) Apply silicone glue VERY Sparingly around perimeter, defrost vents & A/C vents. DO NOT apply glue to center of dash. This can interfere with thermal expansion, possibly warping the overlay.



Now, carefully slide the cover into position without disturbing the glue. When it’s in place, apply firm pressure to perimeter, vents & special attention to cluster perimeter & glove box perimeter. Tape is not necessary, but I found it helpful to hold down edges & seams.
Also, stuff newspaper or towels between the windshield & dash cover to add pressure around this perimeter. Allow 8 hours to dry!


After 8 hours, remove tape & towels. You are done with your installation of this product. Enjoy your newly revitalized dash!

After-








For HUD brothers, remove gauge cluster & HUD. Place overlay on top of dash, making sure it’s seated properly. Take a BLUE sharpie inside the hole where the gauge cluster was & carefully trace from the inside your HUD cutout. Blue you ask? It will show up rather well on a black surface. Trust me!

fter this is done, use your Dremel® tool (if you don’t have one, get one!) to cut this out from the inside of the overlay. Remove any residue, flashing that may accumulate. That’s it.
Oh and also it costs $161 shipped, NICO members ONLY. You MUST call and give them your NICO screen name to order.
