Need help removing instrument cluster...
Hello everyone, does anyone know how to remove the instrument cluster. I know you're supposed to hook a hanger on the two holes on each side of the cluster, but something will not release my cluster.
Any suggestions would be appretiated!

Cleaning inside cover of instrument cluster
I seem to have what looks like condensation marks on the inside of the clear cover of the instrument cluster of my C32.
Has anyone ever removed their instrument cluster? Easy, difficult?

Okay, after some searching, found out how to remove the cluster but a question regarding the cluster to which I have not found an answer.
Can you get to the inside of the lens to clean it without too much difficulty?

CAREFUL! 
Careful w/ what kind of rag you use to clean the plastic. I did this once on my old Camry, and the plastic was hair-lined scratch to hell after I was done. When direct sunlight hit the cluster, it'd light up like a rainbow. 
I used an all cotton cloth, but to no avail did it work. Try microfiber.
Good luck.

Also - beware of microfibre cloths - They scratch some plastics
