I've got a 2001 Buick LeSabre, with a factory am/fm radio/cd player. It's gotten a little "loose" in the slot, and I figure that one of the retaining nuts has shaken loose. I'd like to get in there and see what's happened, but it looks like I'm going to have to remove the whole plastic dash in order to get in there. And I'm a little leery of trying to do that, because there are probably some little plastic "tabs" that are real brittle, and easily broken... especially if you don't know exactly where they're located.
Is there a website anywhere that might have a diagram or two, showing exactly what you need to do in order to get the dash off so you can check out the radio? Any suggestions or advice is GREATLY appreciated.

IF you haven't fixed this by now, my "Suggestion" is that you go to Your Local Dealership or Library and Check out The Service Manuals for This Car. The Dealer usually will Let you "Look" at their Manuals, and when you find the Pages You Want, they will copy them for you.
Usually Public Libraries have "Motor Manuals" that Have R & R Procedures in them for what your doing...
