Fascia side support brackets pre-set to th e BIW, determine fascia fore and aft, and height position s and a bush installed in a
BIW bracket centrally positioned on the upper fascia panel, similarly determines the correct transverse location of a fascia

houses the main instrument panel, pass enger air bag module glovebox, air conditioning outlet vents and a centrally
mounted analogue clock, all of which can be readily removed wi thout disturbing the fascia. The fascia harness is located in
the nose of the fascia assembly to facilitate easy installati on in vehicle. The fascia must be removed from the vehicle to
access the harness.
