Nope! Should pop right off there. Its held on by several clips. Get yourself a Chilton or Haynes manual... Much more detailed haha

after you pop the dash pad off look around your gauge cluster you should see 6 or 7 screws holding it in all around it( like 2 on top 1 on each side or 2 and then 2 on bottom)
then after taking the screws out just pull towards you and it should just slide out of the to clips in the back

I wish Neon FSM was just less detailed.... except it's plain ridiculously wrong all over the place! Today's example: Picture of a guage cluster is labeled as having a tachometer but actually doesnt. I'm afraid to look in engine section for clearance specs, etc.

Out of the 5 different vehicles i had (jap/euro/amer), i'd say Mitsubishi's has the best FSM.
