I agree with you that's why I sprayed mine ahah
Right, the bottom panel where the sat nav is or radio which ever you have pops off first if you get a knife with some tape round and prise it off it just pops off,
Then the top part with air con is held on with about 2 torx screws and pops off after,
Then the dial part is held on by about 3 torx screws and just pops off after,
But the way the screws are set it has to be done in that order and put back on in reverse order,
Be careful when putting it all back on not to scrape the paint mate,
Enjoy and upload pics after,
Hope this helps mate
