Guage Cover

Zatrekaz · February 11th, 2009, 09:04 AM

I am wanting to remove my guage cover (the peice that had the glass) from my cluster. I can do that part, but the trim that goes around the guages is attached to the glass. Any idea how to take the glass off so I could paint the vinyl trim?

The "glass" (plastic) is attached to the black plastic that goes around the actual guages. You can see here : Black Instrument Bezel & Clear Lens (99-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

You could probably cut it off w/ a die grinder or something and possibly glue it back on then but I don't know what the results would be of cutting it.

yeah your going to have to cut it off, or maybed heat it up and you might be able to get them to pop apart.

Oh don't get me wrong... I love a little challenge sometimes. I just rather not break it and end up having to order a new one from AM or something.

I will find a way to do this down the road... I assure you.
