Ok if noone has any idea how to do that....Does anyone know the best method to fix the dash when it warps right about the gauge cluster??

I dont think its a dash cover, but the whole dash itself... Its about 4 big bolts along the bottom of the windshield and two by each door... If you wanna pull your whole dash I can post the write up

Well if thats what i gotta do and you don't mind posting it.

The piece around the gauges? Like with the vents in it? Unscrew the panel below the steering wheel (2 screws) then just pull it off gently.

 

If you mean the entire dash, I've never pulled one completely out of a 1.5 gen so you'll have to wait for someone to do a write up.
