Re: i need help to remove the dash trim

You have to completely remove the dash pad. Once it's off you can access the back side of it where you very carefully remove the speed nuts holding the plastic dash trim. It's not that difficult but the biggest challenge is removing those speed nuts from the backside without breaking the fragile plastic studs they're attached to. Pretty straightforward once you get there. Good luck.
