Default HELP! Dash Removal

I'm trying to remove my dash and i am stuck. I removed the 3 screws in the glove box, 1 on passenger side, the ones around the radio, and the ones around the steering wheel and instrument cluster. It appears to be stuck around the defrost vent on the dash because i can lift the front up. I looked but couldn't figure out how to remove that vent. Any ideas guys???

Thanks for the link. But it seems to be stuck in the large vent in the center of the dash so i'm still stuck. :( any other ideas?

Going from memory here. You have the glove box, center console and left knee bolster removed. Let's see.......... 7mm screws- 1 located at the left of the column on that silver bracket, 2 vertically from the instrument cluster into the dash pad, 3 around the radio/hvac control, 1 next ti the glove box latch, 2 under the defroster grille, 1 each side under the a-pillar moldings. I think that's all of them!
