Don`t forget to put masking tape of something in front of the dash top,the section near the screen.

You need to squeeze the dash top to allow for the threaded bar,when i springs back out it can rip the part where the vents are..

Don't forget to get some new large penny washers and wing nuts..I can remove mine in a few minutes

Heh - wearing this teeshirt at the moment.....

You have to squeeze / rock forwards the top - it DOES come out - just take yer time....

And good tip from Daz re the tape - moving and shifting the top that you are trying to remove, can cause damage, especially with the exposed threads! - just take your time....
