Take off the center console (where the speedo is) by loosening the bolt in the middle. And tighten everything under there. Use blue locktight when you put it back tigether.

The trim ring that has the lettering on it is glued on. Remove it a use a spanner wrench to tighten it then reglue the trim ring.
I have no ide what king of glue to use... my friend left it off.
