Default Focus ST - How do you get behind the dash clocks ?

As title please.

I cant figure it out apart from removing the radio but I dont have the removal tools for that.

Something has worked loose behind the dash and it clunks loudly when accelerating/deceleratiing.

Sounds like plastic on plastic.

Many thanks

however, iirc you can see fuck all behind there. i'd suggest the pollen filter cover has been fitted incorrectly or the heater box incorrectly aligned!

they're the ones i've seen making dash rattles on 04 shape focuses!
