Default How do I remove the radio trim panel???

Ok....just bought me a 95 DV Coupe and the trim around the radio is broken. I found a couple in a local salvage yard but these things appear to be screwed in from behind....am I right? Does the dash have to be pulled to replace this simple panel??? To clarify,...this is the one that surounds the radio, goes over the steering wheel and has the gauge dimmer dial and other switches in it. thanks all!!

You have to remove the center consul their are 2 bolts that point up holding it in.

I dont think that under dash panel provides any access to this radio trim panel. With the radio out and dimmer switch out I think I can feel philips head screws from behind....I cant get this stupid panel to budge...its ON there. Remember.....this one goes all the way from the radio to the far drivers side of the dash.

Here is a pic of the panel I am looking to remove\replace

You have to remove the entire dash and access all the Phillips head screws from the back. Trust me, this is the fastest and safest way to do this. I work in an import junkyard during the summer and sell those pieces all the time.
