Removing clear plastic from guage cluster

I have a '93 SC1. How do I remove the clear plastic from the guage cluster without breaking it?

Matt want me to do it for you? Thier are screws all around the outer edges of the plastic on the back side. After you take those out, then it has plastic snap fastners all around the outer edge. Snap those out and your good to go. By the way matt make sure you take the light out on top front (4 of them), or when you have headlights on it will light your guage cluster up. Also remove the circuit print after you pull the lights out thats attached the front piece. You will see what I'm talking about. It all is pretty self explanatory.

on my 97 SL1 I had to use my dremel to cut the plastic away from the housing itself. Once I was done, I used a plastic epoxy to put it back together.

93 SC you don't have too. Me and Matt have exactly same cars and I installed exact same guages hes getting 2 weeks ago in mine. Basically a unscrew pull apart and put back together job.

It must have been different for the earlier years, but I know on my 97, the clear plastic is actually glued to the black pod from the factory.

Thanks for the offer Paul, but I just wan't to see how hard it's going to be. But after checking posts, it doesn't look that bad of a job.
