Removing The 451 Upper Dash

Should you ever want to get your dashboard recovered in leather or just fit a Brabus dash as I did, you will need to remove the top part of the dashboard. It’s time consuming but not overly hard. You should disconnect the battery before attempting this as later on you will be moving the airbag.

This is for a right hand drive smart 451, the left hand drive version should be very similar but reversed.

Step One

Disconnect the battery.

Non Facelift Dashboard

Remove the stereo surround and stereo and remove the pods if you have them. Using a Torx10 screwdriver, remove the 4 screws shown below.

The centre part will lift free, don’t pull it too far though.

Remove the side vents by pulling forwards and lifting out.
