This is a problem that has been addressed here by a few members. I have not had this problem myself.

Would anyone be able to tell me what holds the center gauge pod on? Mine has become very loose. I was wondering how to tighten it back up.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions (related to the car, of course :coolman: ).

When I removed my gauge cluster I basically just pulled it out,.. after pushing in on the sides a bit. Replaced in reverse order.

Maybe one of the tangs snapped? pull it and check.

I'm sure that this has been discussed to nausium..... So I really appreciate the reply. So you're saying that the proper way to remove it is just to grab it and pull it toward me? The whole unit will just come out?

Just checking on the "correct way" :lol: . Ok, you're the man. I'll give it a shot and see what happened to it.

Thanks for your help. :bows:
