Strudul Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Does this help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 With great difficulty! You will be very very lucky to get them off without breaking (at least one of) the tabs that hold them in place. Basically you need a strong wire hook tool (I made one from a coat hanger hook 😉), hold the cover at the back nearest the windscreen with your hand and pull towards you and up and you'll feel the rear catch release (that's the easy bit). Then you need to slip the hook down either side of the cover towards the front (near the gauge) and unhook the plastic clip. There is a guide online somewhere. It IS a pig of a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDON Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 after seeing this i'm still dubious to try it, guys i have spoken to that have done it say at least one clip always breaks! hmm might be best to buy new ones to put on lol.

spxntaneous_Z Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hey guys, bit late to the party here but I’m wanting to get off JUST the silver trim pieces, not the cluster if I can. Any advice? I know there’s 3 hooks but I cannot get the top to pop out no matter what I try and I don’t want to break it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
