Removal of dash cover over radio

[Robert in Argyle]

Anyone know how to remove the black instrument cover over the radio and AC controls? I need to replace the passenger air bag light bulb and the AC temp rheostat. Any help greatly appreciated!!

just pops off, give it a tug and it should come loose

Thanks for the info. I didn't want to try that before I knew it wouldn't break any hidden tabs.

robert stick your fingers in the 2 AC vent holes
rotate the vents to the side to give the fingers something to grab and just pull straight out

Thanks guys- I pulled it out without problems. It does have four friction clips that hold it in place but gentle handling prevents breakage of these parts.
