Removing Dash Trim > 2005 Cobalt

Hey, any tips on removing the trim panel from above the glove box and to the right of the ignition switch. I tried once but it didnt go to well. I don't want to snap the plastics so can someone tell me where the clips are and how to remove the trim with ease?

Thanks.

they just push in......just need to get a flat tool, get behind it, then just grab it and pop em out.....

just be careful not to scratch it or anything when pulling em off.

they just pop off man, no hard......

first pop the bezzel off around the radio....little flat blade screw driver if you need to get behind it (just be careful not to scrach)

after you get the radio bezzel off, you will be able to pop off the trim piece over the glove box, and next to the steering wheel.

uhhh, you may have to remove the dash trim to get at the radio, but the dash trim still doesn't make any audio...
