removing dash cover

I'm thinking about mounting tweeters on the top of the dash. To do that I would have to remove the dash cover. Are there any directions on how to do that? Do I have to remove the speedo and other parts first?

Oog, pulling the dash cover is going to be an amazing PITA! Have you considered getting replacement "A" pillar covers that have the tweeter mounts? Not going to be cheap, but then neither is the amount of your time required removing and reinstalling the dash cover and everything else needed to get it loose... Don't think you have to pull the front wheels, but I wouldn't be surprised!

The speaker install threads have some good disassembly instructions. Also, look at the REALOEM site and their diagrams for hints on what's holding who in place and how many magic tools (and magic words) you're going to need...

Let us know how it works out!
