    CAUTION
    The screws that secure the RH instrument panel are underneath the top pad. It is necessary to release the rightmost and center clips on the top pad in order to access the screw. If possible, use an inflatable wedge. Be very careful not to bend the top pad.
  3. Cover the chrome strips at the base of the top pad and around the center screen with tape.
  4. Gently lift up on the rightmost edge of the instrument panel top pad enough to allow room for a trim pry tool to release the rightmost clip. Repeat this process working from right to left, releasing one trim clip at a time until just to the right of the center screen.
