Insert of hooks at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. There is a little gap near where the wood grain trim meets the cluster. Looks inviting but that's TOO HIGH. If you get MB hooks from the dealer (pretty cheap) they have a mark on the shaft to give you an idea of how far to insert before twisting 90 degrees inward. You 'walk' the cluster out by pulling a little on one side (1/8") and then a little on the other. On really stubborn cases you can remove the kick panel under the steering column and push on the cluster from the back.

If you have a small piece of celluloid like an old microfiche card you can insert it between the dash vinyl and the cluster. It will keep the hooks from marking up the vinyl, especially if you have a light colored interior.

I don't think there's anything in the cluster to make a noise since it's purely electronic. The most common dash noises are from debris which gets caught somewhere in the fresh airflow and vibrates. Also, some people have posted hearing their MOT valve from inside the car.

Good luck.
