right i have had a very good opportunity to do some kind of a guide to the glanza interior so it was a very nice day and i said what the hell haha

the hole process is very easy so anyone who is in anyway mech minded at all will find this simple to do. some out there wont try it because it sounds hard to do but its not. this is the very first thing i done when i got the car, striped it all down gave it a good scrub and back in then. this is just a how to guide if you need to replace parts, get access to parts ot just give it a spring clean

first off we need to go through some quick thinking and planning

1. you need good tools! this will be a pain if you dont use good tools
2. use the correct tool for the job! it can lead to you damaging parts
3. take of items one by one
4. when taking out the part remember to put the screws back to where they are ment to go. it is by far the easiest way to keep track of the screws/bolts, they are not going to be able to get lost and you know exactly what go where
5. take your time with stuff there is no rush

time wise this took me the guts of a hour, i already had the dash out and clocks which would take about a half hour with all the messing ect

this is the order i went in, some parts you cant take out without other parts being taken out but that is for the the rear plastics ect

door cards

the majority of the bottom card is all clips apart from 3 main screws. so you need to pop out the window controls and the door catch handle these are just clipped in so use a but of force to get them out. once the two are out then the 3 main screws are visible unscrew them and the rest of the card should just pop out. take care of the cables and screw back in the screws

then we have the top part there is two screws holding this in. one is at the dash end and the other is part of the door handle itself. once both screws are out slide the door handle to one side and it should just pop out. raise up the top piece until it unhooks from the window, then just tilt it to free it from the handle. again put back the handle in its place with the screws back in

its the same process on both sides so no need to go through that

here is some pics of the pieces and what you should be left with. its clear from the pics what you need to do

rear seats

the bottom seat just has clips so its just a matter of pulling it up, it prob need a hard tug but it will come up handy enough. once that is done we going to fold down the top part flat so it can give us access to the bolts at the hinge. it takes two bolts 12mm socket to remove. once that is done then its will slide right out. you will need to remove the white plastic piece to get the rest of the stuff out 10mm bolts

rear pocket panels

these are held in by a few clips nothing else so you need to remove the rubber seals around the inner window to free it completely

rear boot panels

you need some patience with these haha they have the interior clips and some are a bit of a headache. you need to remove the seat belt fixings in order to get these fully out. there is a few screws above the rear light covers think there is two on each panel after that its the interior clips

side pillars front and back

you need to undo the seatbelt fixings to get at them once off then there just held in with clips and window rubber

carpet

there is some small clips holding this in on the side very easy to take off, you need to remove the drivers footrest in order to remove it fully. once they are done then its just a matter off taking it out

center console

start at the back and work your way up. there is two screws under the break handle and two on the sides near the ashtray. then pretty easy just remove the two side screws from it connecting it to the dash and it will just lift out

clocks

first remove the surround there should be two screws up top and clips down the bottom. once this is out it will expose the nuts you need to take off they should be 10mm. once that has been done you need to try and get your hand underneath it and plug out the rev cable. its just a clip so it should just pop off. it is a very tight fit i have to say but easy done. if there is alot of difficulty then you can loosen the other end from the gearbox to give you play. after that then its just a matter of unplugging it. there is 3 connections that need to be clipped out. they should come right out. at a glance the bulb sizes are t10s ie parker bulbs and the rest are t5s 286s but dont hold me to that

dash

first off remove all the pieces belonging to it. the radio surround it has two screws up top and clips down the bottom. unplug then the components at the top. then take off the piece under the steering wheel there should be one clip and 3 screws holding this in. you need to unplug the fuse box and bonnet catch cable from it before it will come away. then the glovebox open it up to reveal two screws and there should be two more down the bottom. there is a clip left all you need to do is pull it off. once all is done then you can start taking out the dash. there is 7 screws holding this is there is 2 either side of the dash that sandwiches with the door top and bottom. there is two under the clocks these are nuts by the way. then there is one more just over the glovebox. there is clips in the dash that connect with just above the firewall they just slide in and out. thats the dash but the interior loom is also attachet to the dash depending on what you are doing you either want to unplug all the cables and remove the dash or do what i did (the hard way) just disconnect them from the dash itself
