    CAUTION
    If the aluminum strips are not covered with tape, they may be damaged when the top pad is removed in later steps.
  3. 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.
