    Since you guys are the only ones I know that probably taken out the dash completely. So I'll ask here. How in the fuck you get this clip out. 1st gen. Upper left corner in back of dash.

    Just pull it, I think that is the clip where it just inserts into a hole, just pull and it will pop out. That is right under the windshield?

    Yes it is under the windshield. I'll pull harder. I never done it before and didn't know if I'll brake it with more force. Thanks.

    Edit:
    @Cr250jumper, I got it thanks again. Nothing broke. Just one of the pointed ends got stuck and I pulled it out with pliers.

    You kind have to give it a quick tug. I cut a section of my dash out and may have extras if you break one, I think the one I am missing is the one you have stuck, the ones closest to the A-pillar

    Yeah I kept walking away and going back 5-6 times until I herd cracking from trying to jam a screwdriver in it. Then decide to ask here and take a brake. :D

    ...too much shit to list.
    Then you'd have to pay her (in one way or another). End up costing you more than just buying the shocks outright.
