Remove the A-pillar (theres two screws up by the t-tops and then pull them straight out perpendicular to the pillar. Then you'll see the ends of the dash pad. Its held on with some super velcro friction fitting type things (you'll see what i mean. Since yours is cracked just pull it out, straight up towards the sky. If it gets hung up use a screwdriver to leverage and remove it. Its not bad.

To put it back put the new one down and just push it down hard with with your fist on each area that has a velcro type thing. Hope that helps

Ha I'm in the process of removing my whole dash to take out the HVAC but its really easy.

Remove the a pillars first: They have two screws each at the top.

Pull those off and just pop up the dash pad. It's held down with velcro.

Lol I was gonna say did you read the previous post? You guys said almost the exact same thing. But then I realized you also posted within a minute of each other.

Good info though! I was wondering how to do this as well.
