Is that what I really have to do just to clean the tach glass from the inside?

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

Anyone know how to remove the glass from the tachometer (on a 1999 C2) so I can clean behind it? There's very noticible smudge on the other side of it. Kinda strange. Thanks, Mark

POST 3Original post

I just did some work on my gauges last night. are you mechanically apt and very careful. The picture above is correct but disassembly requires finesse. Once you get the gauges out , you need to remove metal clips from outside tab (in bottom picture) then unplug electrical connections on both sides ( back of bottom picture) by 1st prying gently with a flat blade screwdriver against green connector, then by pressing tabs outward. pull off clock and dimmer button (they are pressure fit) un clip tabs and pull apart. Have spare gauge unit ready in case you break something.. That's it.. Seriously, if you have any doubts, this is not where you want to learn to play

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is that what I really have to do just to clean the tach glass from the inside? It doesn't sound like it's worth the risk of breaking something. If I decide to do it, how do I initially get the gauge cluster out of the dash? I don't see any exposed screws when I look at it while sitting in the car. Thanks, Mark

POST 5Original post

there should be numerous discussions in the search engine on this. It is actually much easier than what you see in the pics. just push in the hazard light and pry it out with your fingers (this is easier when hazard light is on), also remove the plastic perforated circle cover for the phone mic. there are 2 torx screws, after removing those you can follow toms directions.

I put some instructions on renntech a few days ago. Jeff
