2001 Deville DHS - How do I remove the upper dashboard panel
 

I'm a new to the Cadillac owners club.. I am removing the dashboard panel due to some sun damage and warping. I have only seen a couple videos that kinda show how to replace the upper dashboard panel and I have tried to follow them exactly to no avail. I am however able to get the front of the panel lifted and according to the videos I've seen Iit is just supposed to lift out from there... But it is not, it seems to be stuck or screed in somewhere and I can't see and can't figure out. Please help with any instructions you can think of that may help.
Thanks, Chris

I just recently bought a 2001 Deville in the typical "old person" color of tan. I needed a cheap car to get to and from work. It has 160xxx miles on it and cost $2000
So far it has not impressed me but for such a low cost, what can I expect.
