I have a similar issue with my car -Bravada SUV-, can't get rid of the radio/cd Assembly as it would disable all warnings and what not, thanks GM.
Any way, it looks like you might have better luck than me, here is what I would do if I had your car (I am not good at words so bear with me):

1- As nifty your idea is, it has its shares of issues as was stated by cafn8.
2- I would utilize the grip handle on the right to the radio/heat panel.
3- all you need is an arm that swings around that handle, I mean, attach some sort of a metal or heavy duty plastic (handle/arm/stick/whatever).
4- that "arm" should swing around that handle but snugly attached to it, you do not want it to swing on its own on a sharp turn.
5- attach the screen to the other end of the arm utilizing the knob screw and nut furnished with the screen.

Now, when you swing the arm clock wise, the screen should cover the radio, when you don't need it, just swing it out towards the passenger seat. You still have the wire issue though to deal with but unlike the rails, you don't need to touch the dashboard.

I wish I have such a handle in my car, I would have done it and get over with.
