How 2 Remove Clear Lens on Instrument Cluster?
Hey Guys,
Wondering if anybody can help me here. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to remove the clear glass face off a W124 instrument cluster. I already removed the cluster from the car, unscrewed the back and pulled out the gauges but I'm stuck figuring out how to remove the glass. I need to remove the glass to install a flat chrome gauge panel .
If anybody can help that would be great.
Here's a link to what I'm trying to install. But I need to figure out how to open up the cluster face

Well, I already pulled out the 3 cluster dials now I just have an empty cluster. The problem is opening the face or back up. I know it's possible becuzz they would'nt make this aftermarket part if it wasn't.
Anybody have any ideas?
thanks,

yeah be careful with it. heat it up a bit first... the plastic lense is glued and can crack.. I cracked my old cluster lens trying to remove it. I decided not to try again with the new cluster.
