R129 removal of dashboard glass

[nevilledoreen]

I have an R129 and I would like to fit a kit supplied out of Hong Kong .
The kit is a timber finish panel that self sticking onto the dial suround of the speedo ect.
My problem is that I need to remove the glass ( perspex) that is currently fitted over the dashboard dials before I can fit the kit.
Does the perspex just prise out from the front or do I have to get behind the dash to release any clips ect.?
Can any one advise me which is the correct way to get the perspex out ?
Thanks
Neville

you will need to remove DO NOT USE HOOKS to pull cluster out--push out from behind (hooks often crack glass) no clips etc just push
dismantle not difficult screws and clips all very visible
hope this helps good luck

Hooks don't crack the glass if you put them in the correct place i.e. at the bottom of the cluster at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock respectively.
