Red Dash Trim Removal / Replacement

[richsteele]

ME EITHER!!! Trying to find the instrument cluster too!!!! I want to remove the RUBI dash parts. Need the partner for 6AB27SD5AD.

Ok, so I think I may have found the part numbers for the instrument side but I'm not 100% sure. If someone with access to the Mopar ordering process could verify, that'd be great. If anyone does decide to use these numbers, please get verification from where you order the parts first. I noticed a part number of 6AB21SRRAA on post #104 from @awesomebluejl for the red instrument panel side and I just keep doing a search on a Mopar parts website based on the name "Pad-Instrument Panel - Mopar" that came up for that part number. For the other 2 parts with the name "Pad-Instrument Panel - Mopar" I'm just guessing they are the matching instrument side based on the first letters/numbers of the part numbers. If anyone does use these, could you please post back and let us know if they are correct or not?

Leather (Sahara) panels:
6AC241A3AA Pad-Instrument Panel - Mopar
6AC261A3AB Air Bag Door W/ LEATHER

Red (Rubicon) panels:
6AB21SRRAA Pad-Instrument Panel - Mopar
6AB28SRRAD Air Bag Door W/ O LEATHER, RED

Gray panels:
6AB19SD5AA Pad-Instrument Panel - Mopar
6AB27SD5AD Air Bag Door W/ O LEATHER, GRAY

Just got off the phone with my dealer and believe you are correct. I also found the 6AB19SD5AA on another site. Funny, the dealer said the 6AB19SD5AA (gauge panel bezel trim) was easier for him to find and the air bag cover was harder. I found the opposite. He is seeing if he can get the price down, he originally quoted $200 for each. I have them in my cart ready to go on another site in the attached picture.

@MattC So those part numbers are for what color?

Can someone post pics of the gray ones. I am looking for gray to replace the red. I think that would be cheaper than getting the red ones painted. I am wondering if the gray stock ones would look ok with Sting Gray.

If you go to Jeep.com and start looking at interior pictures of JLs that are not Rubicon’s and do not have a leather interior you will see them.

Thanks. And those parts numbers you posted are for gray?

I doubt anyone would know for sure unless they had one deploy. I was involved in airbag development for a commercial vehicle years ago and crazy stuff can happen at the velocity the bags deploy. I would hate for a piece of vinyl to hit an eye or cause a laceration. To be safe I want to install the OEM components rather than paint them either.

We need to see crash test videos of the wrangler to see how the passenger airbag deploys. I’d think the leather wrapped dash panel in the Sahara would be a constraint, unless the seam in the middle is fake or not attached.

Should be the grey/silver according to dealer. I don’t have mine in hand yet.

I am going to attempt the dash wrap this weekend. I got a gray that is very close to my Sting Gray color. Its gloss as there wasn't a satin that was close enough to the color. I'm hoping there isn't alot of glare but for about 25 bucks in wrap and tools, its worth a shot.
I plan on taking pics of the removal as there isnt much out there for directions for removal, except of course the link/pics provided in this thread by @Code IV . I am going to use those instructions and maybe come up with different pics to maybe help others if they want to tackle this.
I am a little apprehensive now seeing that @Goin2drt backed out of it, and he said he had some wrap experience lol.

Painting was no joy. Look forward to your results.

Can't wait to see the results. I could not get the wrap to work for me. Could have been the thinness of the wrap but we shall see how it goes for you. Painting with a removable paint was easy peezy. I like the non red dash. I plan to now find a paint shop and get the dash professionally painted Sting Gray when I get some time. However the removable paint is holding up fine, just don't love the color.

Ya mines just the brownish/grayish dash as it's not a Rubicon. What made the wrap difficult, besides possibly the thinness of it? I'm assuming the wrap can go back behind the panels even where there are other things that will be attached to the panels. I'm guessing the passenger panel will have things attached to it? Is the air bag module attached to the back of that panel?

Y Is the air bag module attached to the back of that panel?

Yes. That wasn't the issue. It is the contours on the front that I couldn't get the vinyl to look good.

Dealer ordered the OEM grey panels for me. My ‘19 Rubi is due to my dealer any day now and I’ll have them installed before I take delivery. Can’t wait!

You were right, wrap didnt work well for me either. I posted the DIY in the DIY section tho if some one wanted to use it for the panel removal at least.
Thanks @Code IV for your post as well in removing the panels!

Nothing to look forward too. lol.

Bummer. Well if you go to the paint route, I really advise going to an auto paint shop and getting the right stuff. Better primer, base coat, and clear with a bunch of finishing tools if you don't already have them. Wait, just drop it off at a body shop and let the experts do it. lol
