I haven’t replaced the dash, but I have seen some screws/bolts holding it when I took out my cluster and passenger airbag. There should be some screws/bolts hidden out of sight, so start taking off some trim pieces to find them. The cluster is easy, it just pulls straight out and is held only by clips. The passenger airbag has 2 nuts underneath which can be seen with the glovebox taken out, and after taking off the nuts, it is also clipped in place. Good luck, and post your findings!

You have to replace the entire dash panel, my 07 has a nice crack too from the unforgiving Florida sun. I had to replace the evaporator core years ago which requires complete dash removal. Its a pain in the ass and yes you have to remove the trim panels and the center console. Its a couple hour job at least. I recommend seperating the bolts into bags and labeling them. Taking pics along the way would be helpful too when putting everything back together.
