Just about to pull out the dash but i just can't get the plastic cover off to reach the top bolt. Have used both a pry tool and a flathead screwdriver but both just tear up the dash instead. Whats the best tool to use and where is the best angle to get to it? Sorry if it's been brought up before but i'm desperate to get this done this weekend so any help is appreciated.
When my brother took his dash out he used a pick to get the cover off...didnt tear dash up at all...he bought a set at advance auto
I used an angled, plastic panel tool from Harbor Freight. It doesn't hurt the dash or leave marks.

No todo que es oro brilla.
use something made from rigid plastic, metal will scratch up the dash, I had a tool for this but not sure where its at. Something like Agent Orange posted is probably perfect for this
Thanks for the quick answers! Will go hunting tomorrow and see if i find something suitable!
I forgot what I used but I bet a utility blade would work
I've always used a short flat blade screwdriver. No issues.

It's that damned bolt that's a pain since I couldn't get a socket on it. I used a 10mm folding ratchet wrench and it makes the job a little easier.

Couldn't find any of those plastic Tools so got a pick up tool instead and a set of those angled wrenches and they worked great! Thanks for all the tips everyone!

Cool!

A 1/4" drive ratchet with a standard 10mm socket (not a deep one) should fit the bolt. That's what I've always used.
