Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello hive mind.
I recently bought back an old 1999 Boxster I used to own. Unfortunately, it came with a lot of fresh defects. I have had all the big mechanical things taken care of, now I'm down to cosmetics.
The climate control display has this orange line across it that...well, I guess the best way to describe it is simply to provide a photo.
Is there a way to fix this -- take it apart and repaint it, or buy a replacement screen -- without having to replace it with a whole new unit?
Thanks!

If so, and you're lucky, your solution may be as easy as post #13. If you can live with it for a while, do nothing for a few months and see what happens.
the repair kit is easy...its actually fun. I swapped mine out with a parts car, but later repaired the bad one with a kit. the icons on my kit were a little different, so be aware if you think that will bother you, Some might think its an improvement. I like the stock icons because they aren't intuitive, so im the only one that understands them. :+)
Mine hasn’t done that, but a couple of my indicators have died, works fine (except for the foam blowout every now and then) so I’m in need of a new one too. Looks pretty straight forward. Have new coil overs to install this summer... not looking forward to it...
