Clock/Temp display 172

[sand6000]

Clio 172 Ph2. Does anyone know how to get at the display panel for the clock/temp/radio in the top centre display. Can't access from the radio underneath so assume you need to remove the small tray unit above it. How do you do this? I didn't want to force it out in case I broke it. Problem is to replace the backing light on the right side.

you need to remove the top section of the dash board to get to it.

two plastic clips on each side, three torx bolts along the top, and torx screws behind the silver dash inserts and remove the top steering cowl trim and two torx screws behind that!! then get some help and lift it off!!

your display will then appear!!

Thank you for the prompt reply. I'm on to it.

No problem mate

Well, I have got to the stage where it is supposed to lift off. I have it raised about 2-3 inches but it won't budge from there. Seems like there is still something at the back passenger side above the glove box not wanting to let go. What is the motion. Lift or pull, or bit of both??

Pull it towards you. It slides of iirc

Can't get it to budge so have given up and put it all back together. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

You need to tug quite hard mate, it clips in at the back!!

Thanks. I will try again when I have a beefier mate on site.
