Default SC430 Climate control Panel Removal?

I Have a climate control panel that has gotten moisture or something between the display and the protective glass cover. It works fine but it doesn't look very nice. I have gotten a replacement panel from a yard but I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the old one. I have removed the obvious front hidden screws but I cannot get it to come loose. Anyone out there that knows the secret on how to get that panel out? Thanks!!!!! Mike

I have a thread on here that shows the unit apart with some pics. I will search for it later. I believe it has pics as well.

no screws, all clips, believe it or not. open up the nav screen door (and keep it open), then grab firmly on the display unit (INCLUDING that leather piece at the top behind the display), and pull it straight out. it's on very tight but pull firmly it will come out

make sure you put masking tape on the side so you don't scratch any of the leather, they are very thin

remember, the leather piece at the top behind the display, it's TOGETHER with the display

I have a problem with mine. It's the actual plastic screen covering the display, the part that everyone cleans. Mine has come unglued from the silver plastic panel. I don't know what to do to reattach? Since it clear I am afraid to use a glue for when it dries around the sides it won't look clear and clean. Any ideas on a adhesive or glue I can use to put this back on. I attached a picture from the other page showing what I am talking about.

Thanks for all the replys! Now all I have to do is get up the courage to pull it out of the car! I am a bit worried about the leather!
