Undo the screw in the top, put the steering wheel down as far as possible, then jiggle that shit, cut your hands, remove the cables, jiggle shit some more and get it out.

Run your hand along the underside of the top of the cluster hood and you'll feel them. Aren't there a couple beneath the cluster too. Not sure how it works on pre facelift since your silver pieces don't bend up across that area like post facelift ones do. Could have sworn there was some under there too but could be confusing that with my old 3rd gen
