Ok guys, here's the situation. This girl in my class, read as this FINE girl in my class has a spider on her instrument cluster. It's so funny, it's just sitting there under her temp gauge, yes it's alive.
So, in order to get somewhere with her I want to take it out.
Does anybody know how to remove the plexiglass over the gauges? I looked tonight, and theres 2 screws on the top part, in front of the plexiglass. Do I just remove those 2 screws, tilt the wheel down and pull it out?
She has a 2000 Honda Civic.

lol.....that's pretty funny....
I really don't know cuz i don't own a civic.... but i think it might be too complicated... just let the spider find it's way out.. :p
If it was able to come in, it should be able to get out..
gdluck ;) |

| Push the car down a cliff into an ocean and the spider is sure to find its' way out. |

I'm not sure how the new Honda's are but it I've taken my dash apart on my 1990 Acura Integra to install a new benzel. It was quite an involved project. There were like 11 screws I had to unscrew and I had to remove all of the instrument controls.
Here are images to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about :
That entire panel all the way over to passenger side is all one piece. |

Thanks, I wanted to accent the interior with brushed aluminum because the all black interior wasn't working for me. I wish I could install a newer Acura steering wheel that has silver accents too, but I can't because I don't have an airbag. |

Yeah, I've been dumping cash into performance rather than audio. I'm a big audiophile too, but the performance modding is damn addictive and expensive as well.
I'm going to start working on the audio soon though, probably once I have my full 2.25" exhaust system. I just need the header and cat now. |

Tekno,
On her car (I don't know if I'm using the right terms)there is a black "frame" in front of the plexiglass, which is in front of the gauges. When you look on the top part of that frame area, there are 2 screws. I'm thinking if I remove those screws, then I can have access to the plexiglass cover? :conf:

If you look closely on my first pic I posted you'll see that I have the about the same thing you're talking about. It appears that you just remove those screws and you're in, I thought the same when I ordered the benzel. Only once I started the project did I realize that was not the case and it was more complex than I had originally thought.
Try a Honda forum, there's a few good ones around that should be able to help you right away. I don't know a whole lot about all the Honda's yet because I just got my car not even a year ago...but I know quite abit about my car. |

I just noticed the screws, that's what hers is like. I thought I could unscrew them, pull out the bezel, then have access to the plexiglass. Do you know of any good honda forums?
