Q: Need help removing instrument cluster from the dashboard
How do I remove the instrument cluster from the dashboard on my car? I noticed that you can pull up on the hood section of the dashboard (the part that rests over the top of the cluster), but I don't know if it will just pop out, or if it screwed on. I don't want to break it. Any advice?
