Anyone know how to get the HVAC panel thing off?

[deftsound]

I bought a new HVAC panel because my old one was the white-faced version, anyway the one i bought is a factory replacement with the whole panel, wire harness and all.

My question is, does anyone know how to remove it?

Are you asking for help in removing the center section around the AC vents and radio?

From a quick look at the service manual, it looks almost the same as removing the radio.

Remove the trim piece around the gear shift. It's held in place by clips. Release by pulling up around the edge.

The AC/radio center trim piece can now be removed. It is held by clips. Carefully pull out.

Once the center trim piece has been removed, there are 4 bolts holding the AC controls in place. All of the connectors appear easily swapped.
