I figured out how to remove the two torx screws at the bottom of the dash, and then pull the thing out and disconnect the 3 sets of wires, and now I have the whole dash removed and sitting on my counter, and I can't figure out how to get the damn glass piece off. It looks like it kinda just "fits" in there, but it is stuck in there really strong. I tried prying it out with a screwdriver, but the glass started to crack so I stopped that. There doesn't seem to be any sort of latch or snap mechanism on the sides whatsoever, so I am really stumped. The people at the dealership had no idea either.

I'll post pictures as soon as I find a camara to borrow, I imagine that would be much more helpful.
