I used the soldering iron method, and it is not that hard--just be sure to apply tape to protect the dash sections on either side!

Suggestion

The screws pull out when they get hot, and it doesn't take much adhesive to hold the new bars in place--I recommend a glue gun.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am thinking of changing the airbag dash strip to arctic silver. Has anyone done this? Are there instructions on these forums? Any pics?

POST 2Original post

I've done it. The instructions on renntech require destroying the original strips. If you're patient, you can remove them intact. PM me with questions. Tom

POST 3Original post

Just installed them - bitch of a job! I worked very carefully and took my time, but just TOUCHING the leather dash with your tools or drill WILL leave a mark. AND there is a good reason for what appears to be way too many screws used to secure them. Without them (which will be the case for your new ones) the strips will not be pulled into the grove as far or as evenly as OEM. All in all, they do look nice, especially with alum gauge bezels I also installed, but I wouldn't do it again. Way too many oportunities to mess up the dash leather!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This sounds like a real pita. Don't know if I want to tackle this although I really like the look

POST 6Original post

If you remove the side vents and the ducting under the dash that goes to the vents, you can get to them with a small ratchet. I was just too chicken to get a drill or soldering iron anywhere near my leather dash.

POST 7Original post

It's not exactly easy to do, but the work pays off when you're all done and enjoying the new look. The soldering method works pretty good if you are confident that you have a steady hand.

POST 8Original post

We do them in all colors, and installation involves one of two options. Email me anytime: [email removed]

POST 9Original post

Hey Eric , I know your starting to do carbon, do you have these strips in C/F?? Thanks Paul

POST 10Original post

Tom, can you send me some links or pics / instructions? Thanks, Manish
