Lower portion of dash appears to be separate piece. Have removed screws on either side of slide out cup holder. Where are the rest of the retainers holding panel in place.

It looks like there are two screws at the front behind the ash tray. See attached.
This is to remove a/c control panel

1. Open the ashtray or the cupholder.
2. Remove the following sets of screws:
- Two screws from the front of the trim panel. For access to the front screws, remove the ashtray or the cupholder.
- Two screws from the bottom of the trim panel. For access to the bottom screws, remove the console storage box.
3. Use a small, flat-bladed tool in order to remove the upper tabs on the IP accessory trim plate from the instrument panel.
4. Disconnect the electrical connectors, if equipped.
5. Remove the IP accessory trim plate from the instrument panel.
