Bubble under a gauge face 1999
All,
N00b here and trying to purchase my first Boxster. This 1999 I'm about to pull the trigger on has one tiny, odd flaw....It has a few bubbles on a speedometer face. A) Has anyone ever seen this? B) Carfax is perfect...what might cause it other than Florida heat? and lastly C) ideas on installing a new face? Thanks everyone! Hope to join you all in ownership soon!http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/FACE1550626545.jpg |
Those are the stick-on gauge faces that someone added.
Fix by removing them (gauge faces will be black underneath) or buying a used cluster to swap faces with if you prefer the silver/white style. BTW, I see bubbles on all 3. |

Check out this post on Rennlist: https://rennlist.com/forums/boxster-and-boxster-s-986-forum/915925-programming-a-996-cluster-to-work-in-a-986-a.html
It contains the instructions I posted for reprogramming a 996 cluster. It also has instructions for disassembling the cluster. This article has some information on removing the cluster from the car: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/90-ELEC-996_Cluster/90-ELEC-996_Cluster.htm |

My 987 had White faced gauges and I really like them, and now my new (to me 981) has black face gauges and I am trying to find a way to swap the black face gauges for the white ones, but I have not find them yet, and also don't have the courage to remove the cluster fearing screwing something else while doing it.. :-( |
