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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys; The plastic face of my instruments cluster is in bad condition. Looks like the previous owner clean it with an uncompatible product. Same for the plastic face of the alert lights. Is there any way I can buy a new plastic face for the instruments cluster? Tks!

POST 2Original post

Try looking for a Porsche-specific auto dismantler. They might be able to hook you up with a set in better condition. Usually give good prices, too. Good Luck!

POST 3Original post

I have dismantled my cluster a couple of times and the plastic lenses do not pop out or are removable. A used cluster off eBay in non-working condition that is of the same model year as yours is the way to go. They come up about once every couple of months.

POST 4Original post

The plastic is removable...................it's the biggest pain in the arse to do. It's not hard but the dashboard is easily indentable so you need to be careful when R & R.

POST 5Original post

guys, it's much easier than that. you can pop off the entire face along with the plastic and just replace the entire piece. see photo below. BTW, the instrument cluster in the photo is FOR SALE. PM me if you want it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
