Does anyone know how to remove the frontwindow panels?
 I removed the screw behind the srs symbol, but it's still unremovable.

Welcome Leonidas

I didn't know there was a screw behind that cover. I just thought they clipped on and off. You need to be very careful not to damage or trigger the airbag mechanism.

If you want to run a wire or something up there I would leave it in place and just poke it behind with some blunt plastic tool  :confused:

Thanks Dazzler

Indeed I am afraid to damage something putting too much pressure.

I want to lead the wires of a tweeter and the one that belongs to an lcd screen of a dsp (jbl ms-8) along the side of the dash to take towards the trunk.
I think that's best done removing the panel. Otherwise there is no room at the side of the dash.

When I've done this sort of wire tracing I've removed the door sills and followed the same route as the vehicle wiring loom.
