mate its a days work taking it out lol, quite complex as there are nuts n bolts EVERYWHERE

u need to take wipers and scuttle off too as there are bolts right thru bulk head on the back of engine bay

fude box stays in place, just need to unclip it

wiring harnesses need 2 come out, but no disconnecting is necessary for MOST of it

the clips on the heater vents need to come off (4 on back with brake cable style wire) which can be hard to do

A pillars need to come off, so does the bottom side kick panles

heater ducts need to be removed

i had all my clifford alarm to remove too, including sensors, leds etc - this was very hard

one thing i would say is LABLE EVERYRTHING
