Im curious to see what youre talking about also because Ive dont plenty of installs but neve seen any metal clips when it comes to a installing a HU.

As requested. This is out of an '06.

Small vertical square holes are the metal clips to get the entire trim bezel off. Getting the head unit out is easy. Four screws and out she comes.

Let me know if you need anything else. When disassembling, I would recommend putting shifter in "1" and pulling from the gage side first. If you have a plastic pry bar, use it near the passenger glove box.

There are 10 and they are metal.

Oh I see now. I wasnt relating that to a stereo install but more of removing a bezel. Still I dont think my 04 has that many.

Start pulling on the edge next to the gauge bezel and work your way around. That is the best spot I found to pull from, start there and work the bottom next, it is real easy.

Ill do that i was a little more worried about breaking those pins off than anything else.
