Has anyone pulled the dash on a 2008 mustang?
I have to change the motors on my defroster unit. I'm told I have to pull the dash. It looks to me I can pull just the top off. Has anyone pulled the dash on a 2008 mustang? How did you do it? Just the top or the whole dash? Thank you.

All four motors should be accessible without dash pulling.
Air inlet: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=336&viewfil...let%20Door.pdf
Defrost: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=336&viewfil...ost%20Door.pdf
Panel/floor: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=336&viewfil...oor%20Door.pdf
Temp blend: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=336&viewfil...20Actuator.pdf
Three are behind the glove box door. The other, the panel/floor one, is under the left dash panel. If you need to, you can pull the instrument cluster bezel (just pops off) for more light, and/or pull the side panels off of the center stack (which will require the console be pulled too, but it should be 'right there' for ya.
I know that a couple of them are a bear to get to the screws, but they can be done in dash.
I hope that helps ya out. Good luck!

Thanks for the help. When I look through the glovebox opening, there is a large round bar running from one side of the car to the other. The defrost motors are behind\under it. I can get to them. I was able to replace the bottom right motor near the glovebox.
