My friend needs to know how to get it out? .... LMAO you can admit it was you, we all know, it's pretty obvious! haha
considering welding is a controlled electrical short any new cars dash would melt with the heat...if it didnt melt, the same idiot would probably forget to pull off the negative battery cable, this leads to electrical failure inside the car.If it is solder, then just reheat the solder and it will come off.
I doubt he welded inside his new vehicle, but if so then saw-zall that shit out.
