To remove the dashboard of the Volkswagen Polo, use a tool to pry off the trim covering the entire centre tunnel of the car, followed by the trims covering the central panel of the dashboard. Once these are loosened, proceed to detach the trims around the instrument cluster by unscrewing the screws underneath and extracting the cluster from its housing. At this point, remove the glove compartment by unscrewing the screws located inside and install all the corresponding new trims.
