The 3 strips are held by a total of 11 screws. I recently removed my dash for another project and painted these while everything was apart.

That renntech link posted by shaman1204 has several different ways to remove the strips- very informative. Also, well worth a small donation for access to fault codes, TSBs and the retail Porsche parts price database.

One idea that I didn't see was to remove the passenger side airbag to get at the screws. To do this you disconnect the battery, remove the foam liner above the footwell, remove the AC/heater duct (it just pulls out), remove the electrical connector to the airbag (make sure you wait a few minutes after disconnecting the battery), from under the dash remove two bolts and the airbag can be pulled out. You should be able to get to most of the screws for the long strip.

Good luck,
mike
