I know it was fairly easy on my R50. I took them off my speedo and tach to
replace them with anti-reflection coated ones way back.
In any case, be gentle with the tabs so you don't snap them off.

The first part of THIS video outlines the process...

Once you lift the front trim cluster off, carefully lift the speedometer glass (actually plastic) off the gauge. When I did mine, I washed it by hand with warm water and dish soap. Rinse well, let dry, reverse process.

Sorry, didn't see your signature. Perhaps it's a similar process?

Tell the dealer it's been there since you picked up the car, and it should be covered under warranty
