Do it right the first time, don't be a hack.
Im sooooo not a hack. This is what Id like to but I wanted to wait until I have made sure when I do take the dash I know EVERYTHING that needs replacing back there before I piece it back together (I havent even attempted to turn my AC on yet). I also need a new dash cap since mine is cracked, although it doesn't bother me much. But if I pull mine, the cracked one aint going back in :-)

Is it really a single day to get a dash off and back on? Really? It looks fairly involved from dmorrison's write-up. In the writeup he says the evaporator took him 3 days...
