Dashboard Removal/Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Rotate the plate nuts by hand in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure until they are seated.
    CAUTION:
    • After removing the dashboard, the plate nuts of the member junctions will have lifted. If the dashboard is removed with the plate nuts lifted, the plate nuts may contact the vehicle body, causing a dent or damage to the coating film, and the dashboard installation will be difficult. Before inserting the dashboard into the cabin, adjust the plate nuts of the member junctions.
    • If the plate nuts are tightened completely when installing bolts E and F, the plate nuts may not move resulting in damage to the member junction tab and the vehicle body. After seating the plate nuts, verify that they can be rotated by hand.
    NOTE:
    • If the plate nuts cannot be rotated by hand, loosen the plate nuts using a hexagonal wrench.

  2. Insert the dashboard from the front driver-side door or front passenger-side door opening.
    CAUTION:
    • If the member junction tabs become disengaged from the dashboard when inserting the dashboard into the cabin, the member junction could be damaged. Before inserting the dashboard, into the cabin, verify that the member junction tabs are engaged with the dashboard.

  6. Tighten bolts E and F on the passenger-side until they are seated.
    NOTE:
    • After bolts E and F are seated, rotate the plate nuts of the member junctions and visually inspect them from the lower side of the dashboard on the passenger-side to verify that they emerge in the direction of the body panels.

    NOTE:
    • If the member junction hole of bolt D is not aligned with the through-hole of bolt D on the vehicle side, remove bolts E and F on the driver-side and the front passenger-side, then resume the procedure from Step  5.
