Front nose faring removal 1999RT

I need to replace the headlight shell. So far I have take off all the tupperware and have removed the 4 bolts on sides of the nose faring but it still is being held in place. I've watched a few videos on how to remove it but it won't come free. Need some help. Thanks, Gregory
 
You have to remove the two side panels. You have to remove the "dash panel". You have to remove the windshield.

Two bolts on each side of the upper fairing section. Disconnect the headlight connector. Pull the fairing forward and tilt up to clear the windshield motor arms. There are 3 bushings inside, but they just rest on the upper fairing, they don't capture it.
 
Thanks for the reply. All of the above was already done. Turns out that there are 2 small black trim type screws above the dash that are set back and we're hard to see so there are 4 screws { 4 lg. and 2 small } that need to be removed. Once they are removed its EZ PZ. Thanks again, Gregory
