How to Remove the Dash Pad of a Jeep CJ 7

Removing the dash pad from the dash of your Jeep CJ-7 will allow you to replace a faded, cracked or worn pad with a new one. Pads fade and crack over time from exposure to the sun and elements. While new pads are hard to find, many aftermarket Jeep parts manufacturers carry replacement pads made to OE standards that will give the stock look and feel of the original pad. You may also find a used pad in a salvage yard, online or private sale if you spend some time looking.

Instructions

    1

    Locate the locking knob on the lower portion of the dash between the door frame and the end of the dash. Grasp the knob and rotate it counterclockwise, removing it from the dash.

    2

    Remove the locking knob on the other side of the Jeep using the same procedure. Fold the windshield and frame forward, allowing it to rest on the windshield supports on the hood of the Jeep.

    3

    Locate the large Phillips-head screws that run along the top of the dash pad. Remove them with a large Phillips screwdriver.

    4

    Locate the large Phillips-head screws along the bottom edge of the dash pad and remove them with a Phillips screwdriver. Grasp the pad and pull it up and off the steel dash of your CJ-7. Remove it from the Jeep.
