Its loose on the windshield side and squeeking up a storm like fingernails on a chalk board!!!.

And darn it I can't get to the screws on the wheel side to remove those.

Whats the secret to gaining access to those screws. They seem tight so I'm guessing that there is a clip or similar that has come loose.....

Thanks

I've pulled mine off (2001 DII). I put the steering wheel to it's lowest adjustable position and used a philips head to unscrew the 2 screws. The 'back' part near the windshield is held on by metal clips, so it takes just a bit of tugging to remove the binnacle once the screws are out.

Once the two front screws are out - if you take a long bladed screwdriver you can release the two clips on the backside without pulling on the binnacle and chnace cracking it.
