To remove the original clock cluster without breaking it, press the two front tabs back towards the front of the car. They are behind the vents that you removed at the front of the bezel. Be gentle and that will pop the front loose then take Both hands and push the left and right tabs on the side from underneath straight up and the rest of it will come out without breaking. I will warn ya though, sometimes they break going back in because you have to press down that brittle sun baked plastic! 😬

@@theburritodaddy9384 In my experience, the 2021 has been an absolute rattle-box, lacks intuitive bite points for 1st and 2nd gear, and has noticeably weaker low-end torque compared to the 2006 that I owned for 10+ years. Every time I jumped into that thing, I was excited and knew the driving experience was going to be just as awesome as all the previous times. Every time I jump into my 2021, I think to myself, “which door card, dash piece, engine component, or chassis component is going to make a weird noise today?” Although I’ve heavily modified both of them over the years, the 2006 generally felt like Subaru gave more of a shit during the manufacturing process.
