Dash Lower Surround-Behind Glove Box

[Oliver Closehauf]

So when I remove my glove box, I don't have access to anything because the dash lower surround is pretty much a solid wall blocking me. Is that serving some purpose I should be aware of? Has anyone every cut that area out to make it more accessible?

What was you planning to do with this space ?

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to......you're not going to want to cut into that lol.

This is a piece of of the lower dash panel directly behind the glove box in front of the HVAC housing. To get to the HVAC housing or the factory amp you have to either lay on the floor and go up behind this panel, or what I would like to do is just cut it. I'd take a picture but I don't feel like pulling out the glove box. I'll see if I can get an acceptable shot of it with the box still in.

I've seen shots of people dashes where this panel is just an open hole pretty much the same size as the glove box. Their HVAC housing is directly accessible. Mine is not. When I removed the glove box back in November I was expecting it to be an open shot to the amp, but that is not the case.
