VE Radio Faceplate Removal

[VE_WagonII]

Hi
Sorry to rehash an old post however today I finalky have time to work on my car
Replacing my Series 2 radio trim surround
People have forwarded info however I need more specific instructions.
Does the radio/ A/C control faceplate just pull off?
Also to replace the faceplate trim surround do I need to remove the glovebox?
See attached photo.
Cheers

The glove box comes off.
The front trim comes off, carefully.
The top cover is attached to the facia. The cover that goes around the vents and over the centre speaker. It’s attached with three screws at the top.

I’ll get some photos later for you.

I have the two parts separated but will be one piece on yours. Undo the screws on top & front, pull the wedge clips on top up, then the facia clips on the bottom half of the facia. They will be tough to pull.

The hard part is the coloured trim that sits over the facia. May the person who designed that, step in water while wearing socks.
