Default How do you remove the instrument panel cover?

Can someone tell me how to remove the clear plastic cover from the instrument panel. The inside has some water spots and I want to clean it.
I removed the 2 screws but it did not come out and I was afraid I would brake something if I forced it. Also, is it easy to do?

Thank you

It is a little more work then you may think. To get the cover off you need to pull the whole instrument cluster out of the dash. This involves removing the console, knee bolster and dropping the steering column down.
