So, three days ago I bough a new Kia Sorento- the new SUV- and I can't figure out how to remove the dash board so that I can change the stereo, etc. I've called every dealership in my area and none of them know how to remove the dash! I certainly don't want to break my new car! Once the dash is off, we're good to go, but I need some help! Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you very much!

The trim panel housing the AC vents pops out. I got a thin screw driver and slid it between the panel and ash tray and popped it out. There are size on each side, three on the lower vertical portion and three on the upper horizontal portion. It's in there pretty tight so you have to pry it out with some force.
