I'm trying to remove my face plate for my cd/tape. I removed two screws from the top but can't find any more. It is kinda loose but I am afraid to pull it off in case I break something. Are there anymore screws? Why is it not coming off?

If your trying to take out the stock stereo, you do not need to take out the screws. If you look on the left and right sid of the stereo, there are 2 holes on each side. You have to use a special tool to stick in the holes and the unit pulls right out. You can get the tool at wal-mart for a couple of bucks. It is a metal rod in the shape of a "U" with notches on the end. Some people even use a coat hanger but I do not recommend it.
Hope I answered your question.

Are you speaking of the actual face plate of the unit? Or the trim piece around it. If your trying to just remove the unit, go with the coat hanger trick. cut two pieces of hanger about 6 inches long, bend them into a "U", slip them into the removal lugs until you feel some resistance, then apply a outward spreading force while gently pulling.
