removal of lower dash POD



you will now need access to TORX keys / drivers..,

undo the Large Black Torx bolt in front of gear-lever, there was only 1 on my Active..
this ties the upper pod Cap to the dashboard itself,

remove this Cap to the lower POD,


this will reveal a further 2 x Large BLACK TORX bolts to be removed from upper dash, Below window switches ;)

then remove 2 x smaller Torx screws from the lower / front points of the pod

( almost in footwells);)

down by the ventilation grille = duct shown in pics;

there is essentially a "Handed Pair" of ducts / mounts and fittings
Screw in-situ for clarification ;)

here is the removed POD

you May / NOT have to unscrew a short plastic panel in the drivers side footwell that acts as a guard / shield and combined footrest,
this is just retained with 2 x screws and "slots" into place
