If I remember correctly, the front edge of the dash pad wraps over the top of
the metal mounting area. So you have to kinda pull the front edge up and over
the metal edge (make any sense?). The other thing to remember is that the
defroster must be removed since the trim part on top of the dash mounts through
the dash pad and the metal structure and finally through the defroster.
All in all the dash pad is just hard to pull out but once it lets go its no
problem.
Hope this helps,
