Dashpad is about 8-10 screws below the lower lip. You'll have to remove the bezel and then it just slides out.

There is also the vent hose above the glove-box you'll want yo reach under and disconnect.

Be gentle pulling it out, particularly around the passenger-side area. I broke a couple of the plastic shafts that hold the molding/vents onto the front of the pad trying to lift-up/pry the pad out. Of course, I was having an impossible time pulling it out because for some reason there was little screw that had been screwed up into the bottom of the pad and was snagging on the far-right clip hole.
