Center Finish panel removel

[IzzyBond]

Yeah I'm trying to remove the center finish panel, so I can replace the light in my ac/heater controls. I've found two screws on the upper underside of the F'panel, and was able to put it back out some after taking them out. I can't tell whats now holding it into place. I was wondering if I get some help info wise on what I'm missing. I mean I can see it's attached to something but I don't know if it's another screw or not, I can't see it good enough. Plus the Haynes book isn't any help really for this part.

it is clipped on also. gently pry it out from the sides in the middle (right around the cross bar of trim) its plastic and old so do be careful!

Here's a link to a great article that helped me out a couple weeks ago when I was replacing the very same bulb.

Heater control panel light bulb change, pictures included.

There are the two screws, 4 clips (two just below the heater/vent control panel and two near the bottom corners) and a white clip at the back of the ash tray.

Was about to respond but saw they already answered your question. I wish you had asked this 3 days ago. I spent 2 hours at that exact step your on trying to figure what screws I was missing. Finally realized it was just TIGHTLY clipped in....

Thank you anyway. XD My problem was mostly the bottom clips they were held in nicely... The Middle ones not really. I'm gonna have to find some screws for the AC/heater controls (so it holds the clips better). It was missing the two bottom ones, and the radio. Omg, the mess of wires, all freak'n taped together (the wires not the radio itself), and missing one screw.

I didn't have to pull the controls out I got small hands so I was able to reach around once the radio was out and... I failed the first couple of times. LOL my boss came out and helped me a little. Something broke, maybe? He got only one half of the thing out (the control panel), and then had to go for a moment and I tried, and this time the bugger came out...

I'm gonna have to pull it a couple more time to get the wires for the radio all nice and orderly. Because it looks like a fire hazarded to me at the moment. Plus, I think I disconnected the lighter thingie (for the life of me I can't think of it's proper name) because now it isn't putting a charge into my phone charger nor the push in thingie to light cigarets.
