Pulled this out from an a-hole that parked on top of my car at the airport with their SUV. I was unbelievable pissed. Guy/gal literally parked on top of and walked away without noticing. Fortunately I was able to get it out completely and polished out the mild scratches.

Cleaned and Used 303 fabric protectant on my top. Did not use a paintbrush or roller just sprayed it on and wiped up the overspray.

I used that on mine as well a few weeks ago. The water beads up great and bird poop comes right off.
Good suff
I use their other stuff for my plastic and rubber as well. Works great. Put it on my tires too. Keeps them nice and black without being shiny

303 Aerospace Protectant. I use it on everything that is not metal, glass, or fabric. I do leather with a leather conditioner and then 303 Aerospace
Just like Franks Red Hot Sauce... I put that **************** on everything!

These arrive today : 2003 C4S Cluster & Binnacle $240...bargain
Mileage is within 500 miles of my own & already has the obc activated so should only need the DME portion done if I have read it right.
Also received the pressure sensor to fit also so hopefully get these fitted next weekend

Best way to do this is to copy and paste your old clusters file onto the new cluster using an EPROM programmer.
That way, the VIN will match and you won't have to worry about the odometer not matching when/if you ever sell the car

I hope the drive home is short or you may have hot yogurt and cooked turkey (?).

Bacon cheddar ranch with pita chips? Blasphemy!
Pita chips are best with hummus
