They are neither glued nor clipped on, they are held on with 5 speed nuts across the top and 2 bolts one on each end.

It is easiest to take out the gage cluster and glove box but not mandatory.

sigh... well i ended up pullin the cluster, i dont think i coulda getton those last nuts w/out... at first i thought u were makin a joke about the speed nuts when i was under there. thinkin damn ive been at this one nut for how long, this sure is speedy. up until i got ONE off did i realize your reference to those crappy stamped nuts. too bad theres those huge cutouts in the dash, kinda looks nice w/out the pad
