Access above the roof switch panel

[TonyF]

I want to rotate the roof switch console to access the space above. Unfortunately, I can't access The Doc's file. Can someone please tell me, is it correct that I only have to remove 6 of the screws for the whole panel to rotate down on the front hinges? If so, which screws are they? Thanks in advance.

OK.
All done. Please see pic's
Pic 1 shows the panel with the 12 screws removed (6 in a row, each side)
Pic 2 shows how the plastic panel is still secured by four plastic clips. These can be pried loose with the careful use of a plastic trim tool.
Pic 3 shows the plastic panel now removed. The two arrows at top of the pic is where the two retaining screws can be found. (I suspect that on Bluesurf's build, these are missing, hence why he can pry the whole panel without removing plastic fascia panel.) I did consider not putting these two screws back as the panel is still firmly in place...

Because the link does not seem to be working properly at present. I can only get part of the page.

Just to be really clear...

Remove the grey panel with the Grenadier logo and 1 or 2 rows of switches. 12 screws and unclip it carefully, it takes a bit of force.
Then remove the two screws at the top. The overhead console then will swing down with some more retaining clips.

Thanks for your advice. I'm still a bit unclear. There are 20 screws altogether. I thought some were dummies but do they all have to be unscrewed? Does the panel with the Grenadier logo come away separately? I thought they were all connected.

Well, it shows three sections of the panel being removed separately but also the whole of the panel being hinged down in one piece. Are these both options. It also shows a fitting at the centre back of the panel, which is. not on my panel, which I have seen described as allowing the panel to be dropped a few millimieters to facilitate removal of from other clips. I'm still not clear about what screws need to be removed to hinge down the whole panel in one piece.

You just have to pull it down starting from the rear towards the back seats, it will hinge no screws need to come out.

Ah, thanks for that. It's what I've been looking for.
