How can i remove the centre facia panel on my 98 sonata so i can get to the head unit. There is nothing on hmaservice.com about it. THanks

I don't know much about this model but if you really want to know how to do it, call a dealer spare parts division and tell them your looking for a screw for the dash facia, give them the run around and make out that your confused, then ask if they could fax you a diagram of the fascia and associated parts that way you can see for your self how to dismantle it. If they ask you to come in and look at the computer screen tell them the same and get a good luck at the screen that way you'll know how to do it.

By doing it this way I learnt how to install map lights remove the fascia and door panels and find the electronic components.

Good Luck. :rolleyes:

I came accross one reference on HMA Service that might help - the diagram isn't very good but it shows the screws and gives some minimal instructions.



For your year and model, Look under SHOP > Body (interior and exterior) > Console and Interior Trim > Crash Pad > Removal

Then scroll to - "Lower crash pad center facia panel"
