Instrument panel

[uclabiker06]

My instrument panel gauge windows have a lot of wear and tear which I don't think can be cleaned.  Anyways, can I substitute them with glass windows?  Would look much better than plastic.  Still haven't opened up the casing becuase I don't have a small enough hex bit on hand.

If yours are like mine they're moulded in place, so not easy to replace.

They are easy to polish though.

Oh, ok, mine has a burnt hue to it and looks like its from the inside.  Didn't know they can be polished; thanks.  What do you use to polish yours?  I have some Brasso & rubbing compound lying around.

I just used rubbing compound. If they're fogged on the inside, you need to disassemble them, which isn't hard, but be careful of the seal.

 Thanks   The rubbing compound could not have been better...I tried it for the windshield as well but the results weren't as impressive.  Wonder if the shield is made of a different type of plastic than the speedo plastic.
