Default Need to take off Top Dash...Need Help

I just ordered my new top dash cover.
Reason was some idiot superglued a gps stand to it leaving a unfixable 4in diameter spot.
I got a dash being shiipped over to me by next weekend.
Does anyone have a quick run down of how to take the dash cover off? A link to a pdf file would be excellent or even verbal steps lol.

It is a very complicated task. Find a Bentley manual to help you.

You know, I've ripped just apart everything on the A6, but I would never tackle the upper dash...

WAY too many things to remove to get that out!!! I would imagine it would be at least a whole day project, no?

I think step one is to remove the ashtray in the back seat. Lots of steps, and if you try to shortcut you will break stuff, but not a terrible job, just time consuming.

I want to replace the top dash on my 2000 A6 ... it has warped near the left and right door posts. Not the end of the world, but if the job isn't too hard I will give it a shot.

It isn't hard, just time consuming. Following the Bentley instructions carefully is an absolute must. Wing it and you will break stuff.

Where did you get the dash top and how much did it cost? I'd like to do the same to mine but couldn't find it for less than $1000...

That's the tip of the iceberg. That pdf has about 20 links to other sections of the Bentley to remove various parts. The pdf is sort of an overview.
