Analysis

I want to focus on the main points of disassembling the panel. When I was taking it apart at my place, I found broken mounting brackets for several panels. In the photos, I will briefly explain the sequence and locations where components are mounted. I think this will be helpful for those who are doing it for the first time to avoid damaging anything during disassembly.

We start with the lower decorative panel. I always begin by removing the mirror control module. We take it out and disconnect the wiring. Through the resulting hole, we can easily remove the panel and buttons inside (such as the temperature selector, brightness adjustment of the instrument cluster, and ionizer). It is secured by four clips.

Next, we remove the decorative panel of the instrument panel. For this, you need to unscrew two screws that secure the box (in my case) with an emergency flashing light button.

Then in the resulting opening are two screws securing the main panel itself (in my case they were broken).

There are also two more screws from above.

And one screw in the opening left by the mirror control module. Don't forget about the clip behind the clock.

We remove the upper console panel(four clips) and the central rear console(panel inside the glove compartment with four bolts and two screws outside).

We remove the holder(two screws).

After the holder are two lower bolts securing the brackets of the central decorative instrument panel. The top bolts are visible anyway. The panel itself is secured to these brackets on the inner side by screws.
