I have a replacement piece for the wood that goes over the steering wheel, ignition and headlight switch. I want to know if anyone has replaced this before , how hard it was and are there any tips/tricks for doing it?

I haven't done it yet, but I think it is a pretty big job. I have heard that you have to remove the headlight switch, ignition switch, Left side air vent, etc to get to the screws holding it in. I just did the corner trim on the right side and it took about 45 minutes to remove and replace. Let me know how you do.

I've done it on a salvage unit and it's really not too bad once the knee pad and cluster are removed.http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=101125&highlight=wood+trim
