How do I remove trim around overhead lights

Where should the temp guage read during colder weather?

I have a 1999 V70 and I see that my temp guage reads about 1/3 of the way up on colder days. when the weather was warmer, it would be about 1/2 way up. Is this normal?

Need recommendation for cargo liner
