Dust Inside Instrument Cluster

[TooFan328i]

Does anyone have dust particles inside the instrument cluster? I see the dust particles behind the cluster in mine. I Just came back from the yearly service and the SA said that they can see it, but they can't do anything about it. Any clues if this is happening for others and if this is covered under warranty?

Thanks.

Same here but out of warranty

If you're out of warranty it's not hard to remove, open it up and dust it out
It's being held in by two screws on the upper side just bend down and you'll be able to see it
-Lower your steering wheel as low as it can go
-Remove those two screws up on top
-Disconnect the 3 cables in the back and take out the instrument cluster (disconnect negative cable of battery in trunk first)
-Plastic cover can then easily be removed
There is a guide on here somewhere on how to do it. Look up instrument cluster overlays
10-15 min at most
Good Luck

He doesn't mention it but make sure you disconnect battery first. I didn't do it when I did mine and had to clear the code with my Carly app. Other than that it's very simple
Sorry I didn't take pictures of when I did it
