Disassemble Dash To get to Infotainment

[WalleyeMikeIII]

Anybody got instructions or video or pics on how to disassemble a Denali dash to expose the mounting for the Infotainment system.

I’ve had a nasty creak/squeak/rattle coming from that area whenever there is a jolt to the suspension or any body flex. It sounds plasticy. Like something is either loose or broken. I’ve not found any good instructions for dash disassembly.

I’m still under warranty and have had this “looked at” about 3 times at the dealer, but it’s always “could not duplicate customer concern.

This is the only YT video I've found of dash removal on the 21+ dash. You have a Denali, which is its own unique dash, but I'll bet the order of operations is the same. I'd try to remove the large woodgrain trim on the passenger side first, trim near the gear selector, trim near the push button start and then the large soft touch trim below the infotainment.

Yes, I believe I have the Denali Dash figured out, it starts with a screw on the far right behind the fuse panel. But, the second clip in was very tough to remove, so much so I was afraid to put so much pressure on it it would break, so I stopped.

I've ran into that too, some of those push in clips scare me too. Have to find just where they are hidden and pry out right at the clip. All this stuff is designed to slap together and hold solid. Unusual to have a dash squeak in the late model stuff. I use a modified nurse's stethoscope to pin point this type of noise. Might save disassembly.
