removing instrument cluster cover

Post by JackE »

Hi, I have always struggle to remove my instrument cluster cover- so any tips would be great- it always feels like I am going to rip the whole instrument cluster off. I have had a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K_4UF0O01M but mine doesn't seem to clip off that easily. If there is any way to loosen the clips that would be good.

I know what you mean.

Hands on top, push it towards windscreen before pulling up with your pinkies in the tabs at the back.

Bloody hell just watched the beginning of that video :rofl Mine has never come of like that. More of a struggle while pulling a face that says"in a minute there's going to be plastic flying around the cab". Maybe compress the metal tabs a little so there's less resistance.
