the ac duct screws and those 2 at the bottom of the a pillars that all go in from the back are a pain. i just yanked mine since i was ditching the 04 dash for the 06 anyways. re install was alot easier for me.

So air ducts are different??? 02 ducts wont work with my 06-07 dash?? Look the same to me!!

nope. your gonna have to remove both arm pieces and the center section.

the passenger side is similar but larger duct and the driver is larger duct and different location on the vent to the left of the radio

also the newer metal frame has two pieces used to hold the radio in. if you dont have them it works (like mine) but just not screwed into anything. to hold it
