Like some others have stated, its pretty easy to remove...just two screws in the back and w/o the A/C panel it should come right up. Did you disconnect the dimmer and the clock? DO NOT take a hammer to it though! If so, could you possibly take a pic of it and post it in the vault or email it to me? I can't remember if you had a manual or auto, but if its an auto, there is also a small lightbulb that is attached to the shifter selector on the drivers side that comes right out. Hope this helps, Duke ----- Original Message ----- From: <ttanaka504@xxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [DML] Cannot remove the front panel > > .
