help: gauge cluster removal

Hello Forum,

I finally located an annoying rattle which is located somewhere in and/or around my gauge cluster.

Does anyone have a step-by-step on how to remove the cluster?


I know the straight forward to screws holding it on the top part of the trim...but before attempting and potentially cracking something, I thought I'd ask first.

any help is greatly appreciated

thanks

i would be careful you might end up creating more rattles when you take everything a part. However rattles are the worst so i feel your pain. GL
