1. The factory manual says, there are two little trim pieces on each of the A pillars that you can just pry off. On our car that does not seem to be the case. If you have to remove any such thing, be careful not to damage them.
2. Next you need to pop the little window switch pannel between the middle vents - again just stick something under it and pry carefully.
3. Once it pops out, you'll need to pull it half way out and unplug the connection on the back - this is the only somewhat PITA part.
4. With the switch removed and out of the way, unscrew the one screw that sits behind the switch and holds the vent trim in place.
5. With the screw out, stick your fingers inside the switch hole and slowly pull back on the trim peice to pop it out. The A/C control knobs will pop out and fall out, but don't worry. There is only one way they'll go back on.
6. Once the trim is removed, take out the two screws that hold the top of the dash in place.
7. Once the screws are out, pull back on the top of the dash to pop it out and lift and remove.
