Guest larrydday Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Hi Would anyone know of a good way to remove the clear plastic cover on the gage cluster with out breaking it? I just purchased the gage package and want to clean and polish the clear plastic cover while I have it apart.
1972mc Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 I recently removed mine for a rebuild. I used a soldering iron and re-melted the plastic posts that protrude from the gauge cluster housing through the clear cover. Chevy was smart and put a double set of posts and on mine they only used one set for the factory installation. It looks great. Check out gauge pics on my cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/id/carl1972monte
Guest larrydday Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Very good idea. Thank you very much for your input.
Ian Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 When I did mine I drilled out the plastic nubs with a drill bit a little larger than the holes in the plastic face, just enough to get rid of the nubs and get the face off, then when I put it back together I used some small screws to hold it together.
