Try these instructions. Should be the same on 2005 as these were for
2001-2004.
Remember to pull straight out towards you. grip the panel from in the ash
tray holder. Remember, its plastic, so use some care, and the tabs are not
the thickest I have seen, so take care.

To remove the lower fascia panel; here is how:

3. push the lower panel (under ashtray) down with moderate force and then
pull the lower panel out with moderate force also.
remove upper fascia panel:
1. remove lower panel first as list above

facia is off.
