What did you have to use a dremel for? I dropped a full s5 interior into my s4 with zero issues. Dash was exact drop-in replacement, I also swapped my s4 dash support into my s5 dash since it is much lighter.

I've noticed zero differences as far as bolt in for the s4 and s5 interiors, excluding the seatbelt assemblies of course.

pretty much identical. the s5 dash has rubber stereo surrounds, witch most likely yours are broken. other than that should be a direct swap
