HELP!!! thanks ppl! can someone just let me know what to do to get the stock deck out? i tug and tug but the clips dont seem to want to budge! is there some screws or bolts somewhere? PLEASE HELP! I have a 00. Don't know if they're exactly the same or not. I saw a thread at the top of the forum for FSM - field service manuals. I pulled a 97 and 02 for reference on my '00. The center dash/radio removal was incorrect! For my 00: the wood strip below the radio, but above the ashtray is about a half inch wide by 6 or so inches long. On the underside there are reliefs in the bottom about 1 inch in from each side as this part touches the dash. (bottom of the part, furthest forward of that part) I have a small pick set. I used a 90 degree bent pick. You could bend a paperclip to grab it. I didn't know till I pried the side of the part how it REALLY came out. Both ways will work, I personally would tape up any tool to prevent scratches. SO, there are two press-in clips that hold this part in place. grab the part in the reliefs and pull it out. This will expose the lower 2 bolts holding the radio in. The vent 'cluster' above the radio also comes out. 4 clips - top, bottom, left, right. gnetly pry the vent cluster out with a small taped flat screwdriver. The radio remains in the dash by 4 easily visible screws. Just move slowly and gently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
