I guess you're talking about your '79 CD? Best thing to do is to pull all of the switches out first before you try to remove the panel. The one "surprise" you will encounter is the small round plastic pin at the back of the wood panel where it curves down. This will break off if you try to pull up the rear of the panel instead of pulling it back toward the back seats.
