Condensation behind gauge clusters

Post by 2L8ULUZ » Mon Jan 08, 2018 3:59 am

Does anyone have a secret on how to get to condensation or 'Water Spots" that are left behind the plastic on the speedo and rpm gauge clusters?

Last owner left some behind and its killing my eyes while driving... Frustrating

The clocks come out fairly easy and the front is easy to remove. So it's just a case of remove, strip and clean I guess

Before doing that get the hairdryer on them and see if it clears it up.
