VERY easy to remove: can be done in 30 seconds. To remove the electrical plugs: the rightmost plug is removed by pushing up on a tab on the bottom of the connector; the middle and left (just to left of shifter) connectors have tabs at the center of their left sides. One warning: I lost a couple of the clips that secure the panel to the dash: there are protrusions around the perimeter of this panel, on the ends of which are mounted metal clips: it’s these clips that actually hold the panel to the dash. A couple of these clips pulled off of the protrusions during removal, and fell behind the dash.
