I’ve got all the bolts off the dash, but it still will not come off for me to get to the heater core, is there a bolt or something I’m missing to remove the dash and get to the heater core? It’s the car listed above SEL model, V6 3.5L and I’ve got the center console out and seats out carpet out all the bolts off the driver side will come loose but not passenger side of the dash. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anymore bolts or screws to remove.

Sometimes the bolts will go in from the engine firewall side, it says there are 10 screws holding the heater plenum to the car, here is a diagram so to help you. I see three that are under the weather packing on the firewall side. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
