remove a C3 climate control faceplate
Help!!! Can anyone show or tell me how to remove the climate control faceplate? I've found 4 screws that looks like it holds the faceplate to the climate control unit. I've removed the those screws but the faceplate did not come apart; I am afraid to pull them apart. I have been searching for a diagram on this forum and internet.

If you are talking about the plastic indicator you have to take the
whole darm assembly apart. Those 4 screws just take the assembly
off the center console. Then, the fun begins. You have to take the
vacum hoses off, the wire control. If you are going to replace the
plastic faceplate might as well get the entire rebuilt kit - cause you'll
have to do it anyway. Pain to do but well worth it for a new look.
Suggestion - if you haven't already done this - take the center bezel
out and get a new lens (the lens for all those gauges on a "75 is
one piece of plastic). Clean it or get a new one for $15.
