i did some work on dash cluster a couple of weeks ago . i’m having a hell of a time ,trying to get my dash pad back on i took it off and on about a dozen times . is there a trick to getting this done . the only thing that i can see holding out , is the center register duct tube . theirs now way to get your hand in there to guide it over the duct . has anyone had the same problem and how did you solve it
A short duct should be clipped onto the vent. The short duct has a wide mouth…never had an issue. The picture attached shows what it would look like if you were attempting it the wrong way….
i don’t think there is a wrong way to put it in . there are 2 holes in the duct that actually get fastened to the register . the other end is flared out a little to , i’m assuming to allow it to slip over the mating duct . you can’t slip it on the duct without having it fastened to register and the register fastened to the dash pad . i look in the register with a LED light but the top edge doesn’t want to line up with the duct . it looks like its sagged a little below the edge of the duct .
