Done a bit of searching on the forum and it appears that if i remove the 'glove-box' I will easily find 2 of the bolts but the 3rd one is aparently "ellusive".

Presumably this third bolt is on teh right hand side of the dash... any tips on finding it please?

I only want to run in a lights-on buzzer.

Cheers

I so need one of them too


on your knees facing front of car drivers side, you need to get your hand up towards the corner of the dash above the air vent. its tight, but once you find it, its not so bad

I usually sit with my legs under the door with my body tight up to the door and then reach into the depths until you locate the stud. The stud is close to the RH side of the windscreen. I tend to leave it finger tight when putting it back together.

The thread on the 3rd stud is far too long and makes it harder to put the dash top back on than need be without marking the dash trim. I cut about an inch off mine making it an easier job to put it back and for taking the dash top off in the future.

Check how much "spare" thread you have before taking it off if you intend doing the same.
