How to remove the instrument cluster pod?
I'm using this web page as an instruction,
http://www.lotususa.com/Alex/911Carrera4S/page4.htm
however, I have tried my best to remove the hazard warning bezel but it just won't budge.
What is holding it in there? Anybody have a picture of it?

Removing the instrument mount To remove the hazard warning light switch: switch on the switch -12- (button comes out). There are small openings
on the sides which now project over the instrument cowl.
Insert two narrow screwdrivers into the openings -arrow
A- and pull off the button towards the front. The hazard
warning light switch -13- is held in the instrument bridge
-17- by two locking hooks -arrow B-. Press the right locking
hook toward the switch, grip the button holder with a
pair of pliers and pull out the switch toward the front. Press
the collar -14- out from the rear. Pull off the cover -15- on
the left side and undo the fastening screws -16-. Lift the
instrument mount -17- on the left and right and unclip from
the clips -4-.

It worked for me when I removed the instruments to clean the inside of the gauge lenses. IIRC the switch cover reveals a torx screw. The switch is removed later, and slides easily once the cluster is popped out.

I think I used a very wide screwdriver (similar to very narrow putty knife) covered with a rag, slid it behind the bezel and worked my way around it. It finally popped out. Try spraying armorall in there to lubricate things.
