It's very simple!
For the top part, just unscrew the 5-6 screws on the top trim (the narrow piece by the windshield) and two screws on the sides (need to pop out the cover pieces by the end of the dash. Takes you no more than 5 mins to get the top off.

The lower part is a bit trickier. Most of the screws are easy to access but there are two bolts that have nuts on the inside of the dash. I'm not sure which is the easiest way to open them but what I did was I took off the AC panel and the radio (you don't need to disconnect them, just get them out of the holes) and from those holes I could get my hand in there to unscrew the nuts. Still shouldn't take longer than 15-20 mins.

Good luck!
