I have run into this as well, I just turned the car away and saved myself a headache.

Probably not what you want to hear, so my only other advice is to try to push the radio from the back. Take a large pry bar type tool, get down in the passenger foot well on your back, and give it a shot. There isn't much to disassemble with the dash on those years, so can't really go that route.

Good luck at any rate.

Like dwarren said, turn it away. The only way I can think of is to stick a small pick in the side to push the tabs inward. Only problem is the finish on this car is beyond fragile, look at the finish wrong and it'll start to peel. Not worth the potential headache.

Now, if its your own car, do what I suggested above.

If you are putting in a new HU I ask the customer if I can destroy the factory HU. It's a little harder on Audis the say Fords, but with a pry bar and some channel locks it can be done. Plus, you will enjoy the revenge factor.

There is no such thing as free installation!
