But yours doesn't look like that, or you wouldn't be here.  So quit drooling and let's get started...

Let's face it.  If you've ever had problems with the digital cluster, you figured out real quick that you can hit it and make it work again.  For a little while.  I know - I did the same thing.  And I learned the hard way that abusing the panel further is about the worst thing you can do here.  

One reason you shouldn't hit it is that the dash is Styrofoam.  Not the good kind, mind you, cheap-ass fishing cooler Styrofoam.  If you break that, it'll cost you $500 more than it would if you'd have fixed the cluster right in the first place.  

Another reason that you shouldn't hit it?  They're tough little monkeys.  I punched the tach screen and broke my right middle finger.  Didn't so much as scratch the cluster.  By far cost more than the price of fixing the display, in pain and suffering alone.  

So I decided instead to write a repair guide to try to keep others from having to go through what I did.
