Re: 2005 262 Dash Makeover
Under each arm rest there's a big rectangular access hole. I reached under there and painfully (and blindly) unscrewed the 3 nuts on each of the panels. I used my samsung phone and smart watch app to look under there and visualize the nuts (they were not solid metal, just some lightweight bent metal ...

Can I use flush port to dyi winterize ?
