I have a hands free kit installed for my cell phone. The cradle broke and I need to replace it, but in order to do so I need to remove the decorative panel where the radio, AC, etc... is located.

As I recall, the panel pops out easily, but I don't remember how to pop it out. I once found and printed instructions, but don't remember where I put them - Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, I got the cover off no problem. Now the hard part will be tracing the wires so I can attach and install the new cradle. I'm sure it won't be a big problem, just need a little time and patience.
