    What's the easiest and safest way to remove the cardboard glove box liner from a '71 Skylark? Gotta replace the heater core and don't want to rip the liner.


    Thanks!

    P.S. Know this is a double post but needing an answer quick!

    Remove all the little screws holding the felt to the dash. It should then pull right out through the glove-box door.

    Like Truzi said remove all the screws, then pull it out. It helps to push the side near the door in, and pull the other side out, and remove it long ways out of the opening.

    Been there, done that quite a few times. Everytime I've taken one out like that, it has ripped. Thought I might have been doing it the wrong way all these years. Seems simple enough, you know? :Brow: Fold, squeeze gently and pull, then rrrrrrip! :af:

    Thanks!!!:TU:

    Even if you do rip it, you can get a "NEW" one from Year One. I got one for my '70 Convertible, and it looks cool!:TU: It's a lot "stiffer" than the old one, so it fits better.:bglasses:

    A new glove box

    I too replaced my old glove box with a new one from Year One a few years back. It looks and feels great.
