Hi there!
I am currently in the middle of attempting to replace the actuator. I have been following this forum's step by step directions and they have been wonderful.
My issue is removing the upper dashboard. All the bottom clips have been released but the dashboard is stuck at the front left and right corners near the windshield. How do I get those clips to release?
Thank you for any help you can give!

I did it once, but that was a while ago and I can't remember

I think I used the info at http://home.comcast.net/~vibeowner/buzz.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but it's not specific about the step you're asking about

Yah, that was the problem I ran into - the non-specific. The way it is worded, I believed once I released the bottom clips I could just pull the dash forward and it would slide out.
Silly me.
It took three of us to wrestle it out, because there are clasps on the side plastic that hold it in as well as tabs on the front that get wedged into the metal under the windshield.
However, it is out and then back in so all is well. All in all the whole process took me 6 hours. Which isn't bad for someone who has only worked on her car twice in her life.
