Installation recommendations
In general, care must be taken when replacing the center panel of the dashboard, as it is an interior part with latches and possibly screw connections. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific car model.
1) Before assembly
- Check whether the new and original part match in terms of shape, fit, placement of ventilation holes and color scheme.
- Check the condition of all plastic latches, guides and edges of the part.
- Make sure the part used is not cracked, deformed or excessively scratched in visible areas.
- Compare the product number 823114 with the old piece if it is legible.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Set of plastic pry bars for dismantling interior parts
- Common hand tools by attachment type
- Clean cloth or cloth for cleaning the contact surfaces
- Or work gloves for gentle handling of plastic parts
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Turn off the ignition and prepare a work space in the interior of the car.
- Carefully remove the original surrounding covers or attached interior parts if they prevent access to the center panel.
- Using a plastic pry bar, release the panel so as not to damage the dashboard or the latches themselves.
- If the panel is secured with screws or other fasteners, first safely release them and set them aside.
- Remove the original panel and check the condition of the seating surfaces, guide points and any connected parts in the vicinity.
- Clean the area of dust, dirt and debris that could prevent the part from seating properly.
- Before final installation, compare the new panel with the old piece, especially the shape, position of the holes and mounting.
- Sit the panel first on a clean surface and verify that it fits correctly with the adjacent parts of the dashboard.
- Once properly seated, carefully push the panel into the holder or secure with the original fasteners.
- Check that the vents are not blocked and that moving parts work smoothly if the design allows.
- Reinstall all previously removed covers and related interior parts.
- Perform a final visual check of alignment and stability of the entire panel.

- Rough plastic prying – use plastic pry bars and loosen the part gradually.
- Assembly without fitting comparison – always compare the new and original part before fitting.
