    Instrument cluster clear plastic cover Removal?

    Does anyone know if the front clear plastic cover for the instrument cluster can be removed separately from the cluster itself?

    I was on my fourth attempt removing my cluster to re-do my dam odo gears and accidentally cracked the clear cover in the front. Was wondering if the part can be replaced since I can't recall if it comes out separately from the housing once the screws in the back are released.

    Thanks

      It's glued in, but can be pried of carefully. You can't buy a new lens though, so you will have to find a used one in good condition.

        Ouch that sucks. Yea I can find a used lens at junkyard.. But my concern is putting the new cover on.. Does it have tabs that need to be clipped on?

          When your replacing the Cluster Lens Cover don't use Super Glue anywhere around your cluster. The fumes when it dries will be very evident on the interior surface of the lens. Same principal in which cops use Super Glue fumes to highlight fingerprints.

            The lens just fits into a groove around the perimeter of the cluster. No clips.
