Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm needing to remove the top curved piece of my instrument cluster it has some very degraded vinyl on it and I need to take it out of the car so I can properly remove the wrap, I see there are 6 torx screws but the gages are in the way, is there a way it snaps on and off?
I don’t recall the specifics of how it attaches, but you need to start by removing the entire instrument cluster. It’s not particularly difficult.
I found out that to remove it, first pry out the 4 way flasher button, and the microphone, behind those are 2 screws that attach the cluster to the dash, I found on mine there was 1 screw missing and one connector was not in properly so I fixed my intermittent dash issues.
Best to include YEAR OF CAR and trim level (ie: base or "S")....... there are often slight differences in how these cars are built.
