Aluminum gauge bezels...

[QporscheQ]

I don’t think we are talking about the same thing?!? I assumed IceBox was talking about the rings that surround the faces, and not the faces themselves. Oh yea if talking about the faces, then I agree big time with you. I have no idea how to install those and I would not even think about trying to spay anything inside the car. Man that would be a disaster.

Even though I think we were talking about different stuff, yes I agree 100% on one thing. Only spray the inside of the new rings and do it as far from your car and anything else that you care about as possible.


I was talking about this



and NOT this


Sorry about any confusion. IBox, which is it?

If it is the trim overlay rings then do not use super glue.

I have see 2 reports from owners doing this while the instrument cluster was still in the car and the runny glue leaked onto the clear plastic lenses.

Just to clarify: I'm talking about the rings that surround the gauges. That said, the info regarding swapping the faces is also very helpful as I'm thinking of doing that soon also, so now I won't have to ask about that. :dance:

Sorry, my mistake! I could have sworn he wrote gauge faces, not gauge surrounds... I need a nap and then a cup of very strong Starbucks coffee to get back on track!

I have heard that many use some thin double sided tape to affix them, but I have no idea how well that holds up over time or in a very hot and humid climate like the one in which I live.

Glue sounds scary. Toolpants, you always shed light on things many do not consider before totally screwing up parts of their cars!
