Does anyone have a link or detailed instructions on how to remove the upper dash pad from a R52?

The service manual is useless, I have searched the Web and in here...nothing really helped there either....

I need to remove the top of my dash...mainly just the top pad....any help appreciated....

Real easy. Pop out the panels on both sides of the dash You will need to pull the door seals loose to reinstall panels. Remove 2 t25 torx screws either side.
Then remove the conmvers on the hazard an dimmer. Just pull. The pull off. Then above the covers you removed you will see 2 screws. Once you remove these screws. The cover will lift up an your all set.

 

That works for my '04 R53, but I think there's a lot more to this on my '06 R52.

I pulled the screws you said above, plus the 5-6 at the top defrost openings, the 4 behind the passenger side trim cover, I still can't get this pad to move....

There's got to be some that I'm missing... but I can't find anything....

Appreciate your help, but I'm thinking that the R52 isn't the same as the others
