I just took mine off today.  On my 91 CDN model, There
is a screw in the back - under the panel where the
door holder slides - and a screw in the front - same,
under the panel where the door holder slides.  Then
the panel  just slides straight up (one needs to pull
the bottom out to cleanr the screw brakcets). Try
putting some oil down the panel seam from the top.  I
can send digi-pics if you desire.

Is it pushing the washer stick (on the steering wheel
column) forward????

Two tiny holes below/under the clock face one for
minutes and one for hours.  Push and hold.  Sometimes
the dimples get caught in the 'in' position and the
clock keeps cycleing,  for that one must take the
instrument panel off and remove the clock.

With the power mirrors, There is a way to remove the
mirror (tongue/tab rotates in behind mirror) and then
one can break off the stops to allow the mirror to
adjust more.  Its covered in Bentley I think. Malcolm
