Trying to remove instrument panel to replace bulbs. Have removed the two lower screws and according to Haynes the top of panel should be pulled out first, however I can't budge it. Have tried bottom and can pull out 1/2 inch but then sticks. Any advice from someone experienced in this??

Have you removed the lower dash panel for access to the pod securing screws.Take a look here;www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sRLhvfDCzI

many thanks.....this helped and job done.

What Haynes didn't tell you was that you had to pull the bottom out quite a bit to release the top..they said 'pull out the top first' so not quite accurate!
