Hello everybody,
I would like to send to the UK the complet veneer set of my car to have it restored. For 3 panels I don't know how to disassemble them. Can someone please tell me the procedure for each of them? Please have a look to the picture attached (clock panel, central ventilation panel, SRS panel).
Thanks for your advices.

 

If I told you that SRS panel required the removal of the dashboard, would you still be interested...

 

Hi thanks, why because of the airbag ?

 

Thanks, I have quickly checked this out and it seems to be a risky business to remove the dashboard. What about the 2 other panels please ?

 

I'm pretty sure you hook something behind the other veneers and pull it off.

If you do and eBay search on "jaguar xjs wood dash", you'll see pictures of that it looks like behind those wood panels.

That lower panel, with the buttons and clock, or trip computer, has two bolts holding it in place. You'll have to remove the two sets of buttons to access those bolts. The buttons pull right out.

 

Thanks Vee !

 

@niala3

May i ask where you plan on sending the dash veneer pieces for refinishing?

Thanks.

 

Not answering the question, I realize, but if you're in the US, maybe check out British Autowood in FL before sending trim to the UK. Fwiw, I used Saul for a steering wheel and trim renewal and I was pleased with the results.

 

Hi, I live in France and plan to send the veneer set to the UK either to GDK Veneering or Myrtle.
