As I remember the dash does not come apart. Remove a few screws and lift out the glove box. Use the right tools and you're good to go.

I broke my old cover getting it out cause I pulled too hard. Putting the new one in I just relaxed and didn't rush it. Took me a bit to find the right angle but it went in fine. You have to pull the dash bar out a bit to fit it in.
Did I mention I have a kit to retrofit your non filtered unit to a filtered version?
I'm listening....
Looks good. PM me the details on cost, etc.

So, I ended up getting the door out, and I purchased the upgrade kit from a fellow member here.
But I didn't install the filter door.
I don't know if anyone noticed, but the filter and the duct work don't line up... The filter sits high on the door, and the ac duct that flows through the evaporator core is on the bottom.
I felt that this would cause the filter to not even be used, so I opted out.
If anyone wants the conversion kit I bought, let me know.
Check your unit, and make sure to order a new door gasket.

I only received one in the "Kit" I was sold.

I bought two filters from Amazon before checking to see if I have the proper doors. Two questions:
1: I live in Georgia and it's too hot down here to try and constantly cool the outside air. The AC blows MUCH colder, in my experience, once it turns over the cabin air once or twice. Do these filters work even if the air is on recirculate mode?
2: I know that neither of the line drawings of the cooler door actually depict the easy access cover, but does the attached picture show that I'm ordering the correct part numbers?

Hi All
I have just begun this conversion and bought the filters today. However, when I tried to install the filters they will only go in half way. It looks like a there is a wall in the cooler box that shouldn't be there if the filters are to fit?

Had same issue with mine here in NZ while retrofitting my 2001 VX LTD. After sourcing the new cover and two filters I found the filter slot was only half the depth of everone elses on these write ups. Took to the filters with a hacksaw cut them in half so they now fit. A little Heath Robinson but after the cover is clipped on no-one else but you and me and all the other retrofit fiends will know.
