2003 Baja Trim Panel removal?

[User705459]

Hi,
How do I get the trim panel(gray) off that is around the radio..I am
looking to replace the radio and I am afraid i am going to damage the panel
without correct instructions,,All I see is 2 screws above the ash tray once the
ash tray was removed.

The instructions for installing the sub woofer contain the info. You can
download them here:

That is all that is holding it in. just remove the 2 screws, then pull
slowly at the bottom. you will have to unplug the lighter plug. the radio
bracket has 6 screws, 4 on the sides, 2 at the bottom.
when you put the radio bezzel back in, make sure to seat the top clips
first, if you don't you could break the IP (instument panel).
