Instrument Panel Insulator Panel Replacement - Right Side LHD

1. Remove the fasteners (1) at the rear edge of the insulator to disengage from the lower instrument panel (IP).
2. Push in on the snap tab retainers to release.



3. Disconnect the electrical connectors (1, 2) as necessary.
4. Slide the insulator (3) rearward in the vehicle.

1. Set the forward edge of the panel onto shelf on carpeting at front of vehicle.
2. Reconnect electrical connectors (1, 2).



3. Align the insulator to the floor duct at the HVAC module.
4. Align the snap tab fasteners to the IP lower and push upward to engage.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Install the insulator fasteners (1) into the lower IP.

Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 2 N·m (18 lb in).
