1) cig lighter.. you have to carefully pry the metal insert out from the cig
lighter from the front...then the plastic green part will slip thru the
hole..push tabs in to clear the hole.
2) heater lever cover faceplate.. pull heater switch knobs off, and heater
control levers, then carefully pry out around the perimeter right by where the
plastic tabs press into the metal dash.  better yet, try to push them out from
behind..
3) front door B pillar vent louvers..there are 4 plastic tabs..2 on each
side.. carefully pry out with small, thin flathead screwdriver.

of course, i have no idea where you are located, but i wouldnt advise doing
any of the above if you dont have a heated garage..  i guarantee you will break
every one of those items if you live in the northeast and attempt to do it
outside...
