Non-perfomance-related problem

[XTheOwl]

OK, sorry for wasting a post on such a mundane question, but...

I bought a used 2000GT, and I noticed on the drive home that the instrument glass (plastic) was dirty.

When I got home, I tried some windex to get rid of the spots, but they would not come off. I would try a more powerful solvent, but I dont want to risk etching the plastic.

I was also going to try to take clear plastic cover off, to see if the marks on it were somehow on the backside, but after removing the bezel, I cant seem to find a way to get it off.

Does this mean you cant replace the clear plastic cover without getting a whole new instrument cluster? Or is there a way to take it off?

If it turns out that the spots were caused by the previous owner using nailpolish remover or somthing on the plastic, is there a place where you can buy a replacement?

Thanks,

If the stains are on the outside be carefull not to use anything to powerfull or it could dull or cloud the plastic. A good plastic cleaner and some buffing may do it. If the spot is in the inside you need to take the instrument cluster out and remove the front cover. The glass on mine needed to be cut off at the glue spots but it will come off. You can leave the plasctic cover on and clean it through the holes. Replacement lenses go for about $75 bucks or so.

Good luck!
