To remove the dashboard of the Subaru Forester, open the glove compartment so it can be detached from its housing. Once removed, proceed by unscrewing the screws that secure the radio display, also detaching the corresponding trims and the control panel underneath.

Next, unscrew the screws that secure the steering wheel, disconnect the airbag in the centre, and unscrew the central nut that secures the steering wheel itself. Then, the plastics around the steering column can be detached, along with those around the instrument cluster, which can be extracted from its housing by unscrewing the securing screws.
