Has anyone ever pulled ALL of the sweade out? I want to do it so I can clean it all while its out of the car. If anyone has done please tell me how hard it is to do it before I get into a huge project. Thanks ~Dennis

Yes I want to remove ALL of the sweade just to clean it. You have to understand that this car sat for a year not cared for. And the previous owner did not take very good care of it.So this is why I want to remove it all. ~Dennis

The panel under the steering wheel is easy as well. You just have to pop out the switches and coin holder (or OBD2 connector) to reveal the 2 bolts that hold it on.

And when you do clean it, be very, very careful how you go about it. Any scrubbing and you risk pilling it up and then it's ruined. It's a very delicate fabric. Some day I'd like to have an upholsterer replace all the Escaine in my car with real suede - it'd be more durable.

The padded piece in front of the passenger seat (above the glove compartment) is impossible to get out without taking the dash out first. Even dropping the entire glove box assembly will not allow you access to the 15 or 16 screws that hold this piece in. They are screwed in from the back of the dash.
Ask "newsvx" for more information on this. He pulled the entire dash out of his son's wrecked SVX and I asked him how that piece was attached. Here is the breakdown diagram of that part: (item 1 in the diagram) http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...ategory=660-A2

Wouldn't the constant sun turn it to dust after a few years? I know Ferrari used real suede on the dash of the Dino, and it didn't last very long...But It would be a nice idea

The dealer replaced the interior door panel on my car, by the way. They had a '97 that was traded in and they swapped out the whole panel.
