Toonie sitting in the cubby - such a Canadian. ?

Try this video also - you might have to use trim removal tools to take the panels beside it off.



Good luck!

That's it. One thing of note. For the left and right trim panels pull them straight to the back of truck and slightly out. If you go out the side you WILL break tabs.

As others indicated you can't pop it out as it is held in by bolts.

I highly suggest going to Harbor Freight/ordering from Amazon a set of trim removal tools. They are inexpensive and will save you from butchering your trim panels.
Something like this:
LivTee 5 pcs Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit, No Scratch Plastic Pry Tool Kit - Interior Door Panel Clip Fastener Removal Set for Vehicle Dash Radio Audio Installer (Blue) https://a.co/d/9tudcRH

This is what I installed...

Thanks for that info. I do have a set of trim tools. I'm actually a tech, just not a ford one, so it's easy to break trim when you don't know lol.

I totally need one of those fascia panels. They've stopped selling to the USA. Dammit.
