I got the front half of the carpet installed today.

Of course I had to put some weights on it to get it to flatten out as its only 5* Celsius in my garage.

I also got the dash frame out of storage and took some reference photos before I start taking it apart.

And the dash pad is beat to ****.....

I started cleaning up the underside of the speaker cover.

And got a start on the underside of the dash frame. It looks like they never had paint on the inside from when it left the factory.

Making some progress.

Next step is to drill out the hole to install the reverse light.
Any members here have a reference on the location of the reverse light? I do know it goes beside the ash tray but am not sure on how close to it should it be?
Changing airflow direction more than likely. How late of production is your car? Could have been an engineering change mid production and they came up with this 'fix' to get by until the vendor making the duct could alter production. Just an educated guess.So we had a warm spell this weekend...so it gave me time to put some primer and paint on the dash frame.
Primer first.

Then I applied some satin black to the underside of the frame and the speaker cover..

The top of the frame got flat black paint followed with a topcoat of black suede textured paint.

I also started cleaning up the defrost ducting and noticed something weird.
The passenger side outlet had this funny shaped piece of metal on it.

Here's a closer look at it.

Anyone ever seen this type of plate before?
The staples holding it on look like the rest of the staples on the duct.
Why would it be there?
