How to remove the center top of this pc? There's 2 pop up on the front. But somehow don't know if need to remove any screw. I'm trying to pull/push or up real hard. But nothing work. Kinda worries to mess it up of I go full force. Don't want just because of small screw dropped inside then spend a lot of money to repair it or buy a new cluster. Thanks in advance!!

The only way to remove it is to take the whole speedo/tach/gauge assembly completely off,if you have the the 370z shop manual down loaded you can check it out and see what I mean.

Depending how much skill and talent really depends on what you do in this situation I could take it off and get it out but when I put my CF tach cover on I broke the left part of the dash and it wouldn't stay down so instead of taking the dash apart I parked it in the sun with some heavy books on it and left it I would recommend the same here, just leave it.
