How to remove Dashboard Center Face Plate?
 

Hi,

On a '81 911 SC...
I'm trying to remove the center Dashboard Face Plate... the one that has the vent/fan controls and radio. Any tips on removing it. I would hate to damage it. I've removed the radio. I've also tried to remove the vent/fan control face, but it seems to be screwed in or something.

Any ideas, tips would be great.

Thanks

Look under the dash and you should see that the control assembly is attahced to the front body with a bracket and a bolt into a rubber absorber thingy (am I making any sense? I hardly understand it myself).
Once you undo the bolt (10mm I think) you will have to undo all of the cables that control the vents (a bit of work but doable).
The trim panel is simply attached with 2-sided tape. Use a putty knife and carefully pry it off.
Why are you removing it?
Email me and I can send you a pic of one removed.
