Basically, after you wire it up you just need to push the back in there and 
the 2 dowel things that stick out of the sides will rest on the lower part. 
The plug on the left won't clear the steering column bracket, so I just 
unclipped it from the cluster and put some tape over the terminals to keep it 
from grounding out. Then, the top part where the lights are pops in at the 
top and holds it in place. Some have suggested brackets for this, but I have 
found this to be unnecessary. Once you push the bezel back on, the cluster 
will look and fit perfectly, with no movement.
