Hope you get an answer. Might try purchasing a shop manual or a body manual for the RX.

the shop manual is the best bet here. There are SO many screws and bolts and lots of sequence. It is pretty modular, tho. Which part did you scratch? You might be able to get the scratched part off pretty easy.

When I saw the thread title I was somehow expecting to hear that Mazda claimed the dash had carbon buildup and needed replacing!!!
