    Reatta instrument panel

    I need to take off the panel on a reatta. I have removed the 4 screws accross the top, but the panel doesn't flip out easy. Didn't want to break it. Just want to make sure I am on the right track. i want to remove it to look at the climate control unit. The temp doesn't change.

    Please add the model of your Reatta to your signature line so we know which style of panel you have. '88 -'89 or '90 - '91.

    Re: Reatta instrument panel

    After removing either the two or four screws at the top of the main trim panel you simply pull and wiggle the panel away from the sides and bottom. The panel is held in with some push in tabs and pulling and wiggling the panel will cause them to release. Be sure and grab both the black outer panel and the chrome edged rear panel and remove them together.
    If it turns out you need another ECC, I have several parts cars and do have a good one.
    I can be reached at jfinn@cpinternet.com
    I have several Reatta parts cars with very reasonable prices.

    Direct email works best for me as opposed to PMs and phone calls.

    Thanks for the help. I was able to remove the panel. Reseat the cable & resolve the temp problem with ecc.
