Installation

1.  Rotate the plate nuts by hand in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure until they are seated.

Caution

•  After removing the dashboard, the plate nuts of the member junctions will have lifted. If the dashboard is removed with the plate nuts lifted, the plate nuts may contact the vehicle body, causing a dent or damage to the coating film, and the dashboard installation will be difficult. Before inserting the dashboard into the cabin, adjust the plate nuts of the member junctions.

•  If the plate nuts are tightened completely when installing bolts, the plate nuts may not move resulting in damage to the member junction tab and the vehicle body. After seating the plate nuts, verify that they can be rotated by hand.

Note

•  If the plate nuts cannot be rotated by hand, loosen the plate nuts using a hexagonal wrench.

2.  Verify that the member junction tabs are engaged to the dashboard.

Caution

•  If the member junction tabs are disengaged from the dashboard when inserting the dashboard into the cabin, the vehicle body could be damaged.Before inserting the dashboard into the cabin, verify that the member junction tabs are engaged with the dashboard.

7.  Tighten the bolts on the passenger-side temporarily.

Note

•  After bolts are seated, rotate the plate nuts of the member junctions and visually inspect them from the lower side of the dashboard on the passenger-side to verify that they emerge in the direction of the body panels.

8.  Verify that the bolt holes on the vehicle side and the bolt insertion position of the member junctions are aligned.

Note

•  If the bolt hole on the vehicle side and the bolt insertion position of the member junctions are not aligned, remove the bolt on the driver’s and passenger-sides and repeat from Step 5.
