Default Dashboard removal and installation 2004 s60 2.5t

I need some instructions on how to remove the dash in my 04 s60. If you are wondering why read all of this https://volvoforums.com/forum/genera...my-feet-56823/ .

I know this is 10 hour procedure and not an easy thing to do. But I dont want to pay for this if I dont have to with the labor rate at 60-70 dollars an hour times 10 hours = not good for me.

On another note I have heard of people drilling a small hole somewhere to drain my water problem. Anyone ever hear of this? Also all the techs I spoke with say this is a very uncomon problem for the s60.... go figure.

Make sure to disconnected your battery before working on your dashboard otherwise disconnecting the dashboard will trigger the SRS light that will cost you a fortune to clear at the dealer. Unlike the other engine light related error codes the SRS light need a specific volvo tool to be cleared out.
