Another Stupid Question
Umm... I realized the other night that the protector right before the steering wheel, coming from the dash is loose. Obviously it is just missing some screws. What are the screw sizes and what could the previous owner have been doing in there? This sort of makes me nervous but I don't really know. I just want to get it fixed so it doesn't wrattle around and I don't break it.

If you're talking about the black plastic cover, it's secured by at least one (maybe two?) (fine-thread) machine screw and a pair of coarse-thread Phillips head screws.  The design is actually a "clam-shell", as the bottom part "snaps" with the upper half.

The previous owner probably removed the cover to fiddle with the instruments, or possibly to replace the ignition switch.

Thanks for the help guys, it really isn't all that brittle so I am just going to remove like the one screw that is there and just go buy three more. So this should cure my otherwise dumb problem
