Hello,

The plastic speedometer cover on my car listed above is partially clouded. How do you remove the speedometer cover to clean it? Do you have to remove the dashboard assembly, or is there an easier way?

You'll need to order one from the dealer. While you are there they can show you a diagram on how to remove the dash plate. The location along the screws. Then you just remove the lense and installed the new one. Good luck

Hi,

I believe you are referring to the instrument panel upper visor. These are easy to remove. Here are the directions. The two attached pictures correlate with the directions.

Special Tools Required

- KTC trim tool set SOJATP2014*
NOTE:

- Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when prying components.

- Take care not to scratch the dashboard and related parts.

1. Release the tilt/telescopic lock lever, tilt the steering wheel fully down, and pull it fully out.

2. Gently pull out on the upper edge of the instrument upper visor (A) to detach the upper clips.

3. Detach the lower clips, and release the hooks (A) by pulling the instrument upper visor (B) back.

4. Install the visor in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- If the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.

- Push the clips and the hooks into place securely.
