replacement of upper trim of instrument panel

does this sit between the defrost vents, or in the trim piece?? im looking it up now, but i believe it pops right out.... the dash on the otherhand isnt so simple....

not finding much here... the diagram shows no screws... just 5 clips.... about a 1ft apart.... you should beable to pry up on a corner, and work the rest of the clips up.... put tape over a flat blade screw driver before carefully prying up on it....

Its the top panel of the dashboard that runs along the windshield. It has a hole the auto headlight sensor and the vent for the front defroster. It looks like a new part would come with clips.

ive been searching this for almost an hr... there are no screws... it just pulls up.... be careful not not crack it... those clips hold it pretty tight... goodluck!

It needs to be replaced so im not worried about cracking it furthur to remove it. I just wanted to make sure nothing else in the dashboard was holding it down. .When i order a new panel ill have to male sure the clips come with it. Thanks for the help.

no problem... glad to help... how did you make out with this???

Good luck finding a replacement! It is a discontinued GM part. Why they would put a piece of that type of plastic on the dash behind a windshield in full sunlight (especially so here in Florida) is beyond me. They have all cracked or become so brittle that all you need to do is touch them and they disintegrate. I've been looking for a replacement for over a year. I have found no aftermarket suppliers and getting one from a salvage yard will get you one that will come apart as soon as it its touched.

Hmm that is a bummer, can you by chance make something that will work?

I don't know of anything other than an OEM replacement part that would work here. I guess I may just have to invest in a "dash carpet'" to cover the broken plastic on my dash. I really hate those things and think they look really tacky, but what can ya do? Leave a huge gaping hole inside the car behind the windshield visible to the world? Thanks, GM for discontinuing the Pontiac Motor Division and leaving your owners out to dry!

Yep I didn't like seeing them go. You try Ebay usually someone will make a kit

Would this work?

Does anyone know how to put this part back in?
