Default How difficult it is to remove the dash trim??

That is the two horizontal pieces, long and short one? I know how to do the door trim, shifter surround, I assume the hazard surround is also relatively easy, but not sure about the dash...

Default The long dash piece is a PITA...

.....you have to literally take apart the kick plates (not necessarily hard) and the radio console to get it out. There is one clip dead center that took a considerable amount of time to get to.

Default Use a prybar in between the dash and trim for the center clip instead of removing center console...

Use hot glue or silicone to secure it. All the other 5 clips on the long dash piece are accessible if you remove the driver/passenger knee bolster.

No! That's the last thing you wanna do. Wedge it in between to pop the clip off.

Doesn't the piece around the shifter just lift off?
