Dash Cluster Removal

Needing some help guys..
How would you go about removing the dash? Specifically the cover/pod that shades the cluster from the sun. Obviously, I like to be able to do so WITHOUT breaking any clips etc etc.

Any illustrations or a diagram would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah. I did.
But, mainly I was asking about the "hood" over the speedo/tach originally.

In fact the "cover and speedo/tach" are ONE piece and yes they are held down by clips.

I would have snapped the thing in two (me thinking they were separate pieces) , IF I wasn't informed before hand.

do you think the hood could be replaced with the EVOX style cover? and back piece for a more aggressive interior look?

something like this?

That's a great question.
I'm not sure..
Not sure about the clips arrangement, that is.

Our cluster-hood piece looks a bit different from the photo you provided.
Are EVO X's one-piece or are they separate pieces??

And, I'll say this - our one-piece unit covers all the way down to push-Start button.
So, if you just want to change the "hood" you may need to do some cutting to get that part off and exchange it with the EVO's... (at least that's what it looks to be required to make it work, to me.)

The radio bezel doesn't have clips. You just need to start at the bottom on top of the air-con dials and it snaps out of the dashboard.
