Two screews in defroster vent can't remember how many under front dash lip not many though, make sure you get the two out that are center of dash above AC vent. Once all the screews are out pull straight back towards you. Nothing to it

Piece of cake.
About 6 screws holding down the edge of the top from underneath. Two more in the defroster vent.
