    Dashboard Interior

    Hey guys, i was just wondering if any of you know where i can find a DIY for taking apart the whole dashboard in a 99 corolla. Ultimitly I would like to paint the whole interior, but right now it seems like the top part of the dash is going to be the hardest to take off. And masking everything off and painting the parts inside the car doesnt seem appealing to me. Any help is appreciated.

    The haynes manual which you can find at any auto parts store has a explanation of how to take just about everything apart.

    For what it's worth, I've found Chilton manuals to be more descriptive, having better pictures and explainations than Haynes manuals. If you have a chance to look at both side by side before you buy, do it.

    I've never used a chiltons for a corolla but haynes does the job pretty well.

    They don't have a chilton for the 98-02 corollas, so you're stuck w haynes. I got one, but I find it glosses over a lot.
