2001 Grand Caravan Radio panel Removal

[sjlenus]

Hi All I wish to replace my radio/cassette player with a CD player. I am having problems in removing the main panel. I remove the small trim panel located just above the cup holders. It shows me 4 screws . 2 to hold the panel and the other 2 for the lower part of the front dash. I remove all 4 screws anyway. Now comes the problem . I hold the panel near the bottom and pull. Theseems to come out a little near the bottom but it seems stuck at the top. Can someone detail where exactly to apply the force (where to grip the panel and pull) so that it comes out. Or is there something else that needs to be done Thanks in advance Savio

Sounds like you're doing the right things. The panel is on there pretty tight. It's intimidating the first time you try to pull it off, because of course, you're hesitant to break anything. Once the screws are off (that you've already done), just a good hard tug and the panel pops off. I always start from the bottom just as you've done.

start from the bottom.. and pry it with a screwdriver lightly.. there are many many clips holding it in.. one clip at a time.. once you get the first one.. you will get the idea

Hi Guys
Thanks for all the help. I was able to remove the panel and swap a CD player instead of the cassette.
Great forum! great people
