what you need to do ?

if you want to replace the CD player go to http://installdr.com/ theirs many step by step guides

due to to my knowledge i dont think you need to remove that facia piece to change the deck

ive seen a mate of mine do it , all he did was jam a screw driver under there and it poped out slowly ,

but DO NOT do that not 110% sure thats the way do not try it please do not

Yeah you need to unscrew all the dash to get the plastic off.

Looking at that pic its an EG so you will ahve to remove the cluster surround (dont forget the screw under the hazard light switch)

Then you will have to remove the under dash plastics. (various + screws around there)

You will then see the screws for the actual fascia itself.

You may have to remove your deck and heater to get access to all the screws.

Yes its a bitch of a job to do and id put to one side at least 3-4 hours.

Are you sure you cant live with the cracks or just retrim over it (search the forums for dash retrimming)

Do i really need to pull the whole dash out ?? only need to replace that plastic fascia

by the way,, couldn't find any thread about the dash retrimming

Cheers
