I have a '95 Civic DX Sedan. Ok now that the booing is over...

What I'm trying to do is make this a "looker" car not trying to race everyone. I'm starting with the interior which I'm going from the stock light grey to black and silver. Now I need to get all my interior pieces out and I'm wonder if there's a manual out there that shows you how to remove the interior?

I've broken and snapped so many plastic pins because I have no clue where they are before I pry away plus all the screws (so many hidden ones) would be nice to know the locations to make the process easier.

Any manuals you know of? Thanks in advance.

 

you have screws on the inside of your car???? hmm...crazy, my stuff just has plastic tabs...but any way, i dont think there is a manual, but there is a technique to pulling them off...my uncle does auto body so we know a thing or two...and you have to just pull them straight out...or wiggle them a little bit... for other panels with the plug type tab things, they have special tools, ( i dont know where you get them) but they are like a flat metal wrench style but its square, and it allows you to pull the tab itself out of the body.

good luck

 

look into getting a service repair manual. a lot of them will have diagrams of where screws are and stuff like that for the entire car. I have an actual honda repair manual for my 96 that I found on ebay for like 5 buck and its just a .pdf file with one of those 1500 page books scanned onto a computer.

 

Screws to the dash. Which i found is such a pain in the ****! Like the radio trim piece that extends over to the other side of the steering wheel is screwed from the "inside out" with a bunch of tiny screws. I wish it was all pins. Would be so much easier.

I think I had that service manual which didn't really show much interior wise, just certain things.

 

we must not have had the samemanual then cuz mine shows in detail every single screw and snap for every panel in the interior and exterior.

 

What's the name of the manual, who makes it?

 

It is a Helm repair manual. Their website is Helminc.com. I love this thing it literally tells you step by step how to do almost anything to your car. (not mods). i used it to do my suspension, as well as taking apart some interior stuff. and then just any kind of basic stuff you could think of

 

Thanks alot. Helps me out greatly. Took me forever to find the right stuff to naturally dye the interior, so that's done. Now this is the last step which will now go along faster.
