You can take the top of the dash board off of the 2001 Impala by first removing the dashboard bezel. Pry it gently from the front of the dash. Then, using a screwdriver, remove any screws holding the top of the dash and lift it off.

I don't know if you have push button 4WD or a rear hatch release, or rear wiper, but if you have any of these, around the small plate where the button is located for whichever of these you may have, gently use a screwdriver, or knife blade, something you can pry with to remove them. then unplug them, and tuck the wires back behind the dash, clear of the front dash panel. The entire front of the dash is one piece from the vent on the driver's side to the cup holder in the center of the vehicle. all you need to do is gently get a finger behind it and slowly pull it towards you. I tend to start at the top, and work my way around the sided to the bottom. As you get each of the clips off, let the dash piece return to rest against where it came from, it will not clip back into place, but you do not want to break the dash since it is entirely plastic. When you get to the bottom, I find it necessary to move the steering column to the lowest position, and move the shifter all the way down to 1. You may still however get a little caught up on the hazard light button, you will just hav to wiggle it around there, as well as the rear of the vent on the driver's side. I cannot describe how to move it to get it free, but just move it around gently, and be careful not to break the places where you removed the switches/blanks. I FORGOT TO MENTION!~ dash removal info! After you get it loose, but before you pull it out completely, look at the headlight switch box, and remove it, or remove the wires going to it. (I find it easier to remove the entire box, and let it hang)
