How to Dismantle the Dashboard in a Mini R56?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Dashboard

To dismantle the dashboard in a Mini R56, start by loosening all the screws securing the panels, particularly those located under the steering column and just below the glove compartment on the passenger side. Next, pry at the central upper part of the dashboard, just above the central panel: this can be detached, allowing you to unscrew the screws underneath that secure the instrument cluster and the climate control panel below. By disconnecting the appropriate connectors at the back, you can remove these components, replace them with new parts, and reinstall the protective panels.
