Post by dub6n2 »

does anyone know how to do it or have done this? I am referring to the hood over the clocks like the one in the red circle in the image below

1 bolt holds it, in the rest are clips, just pull it out, be careful not to break them though

Remove the screw underneath, then put both hands on top and give it a firm push towards you. It will come off, but requires sometimes serious pulling to get it loose.

Make sure you do it straight though or youll break its mount.
