Porsche-Eh --- thanks for the info.
Here's the only picture I had of the issue (at this pt things are buttoned up)
As far as the clips..........I only saw 1 on the driver's side of the dash piece..........and, as I recall there were 3 or 4 on the passenger side. All the clips I managed to get off/free. It was just I couldn't lift things out/up like in that woman's video/etc. What's shown in the picture was about as far as I could lift it out. What you can't see in the photo (looking from position of sitting in the driver's seat --- you could see it lifted off on the passenger side an inch or 2 up.......but on the driver's side it wasn't able to come up but about 1/2" above the spot where the clip was disengaged). So, as far as any clips I saw, I definitely got them all unclipped. Just couldn't get it to lift out like was needed.
