Console gauges get foggy in humidity, especially cool humidity. Any solution other than sending to CA? Original glass lenses. Don’t have bezel tool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I cleaned my own. The crud on the inside of the glass was obvious, and worse with even a bit of condensation. It was too obvious to live with after I had the speedo apart (and cleaned that) and added a new oil pressure gauge to the console.

The ghetto method of removing and reinstalling the bezels is crude, but not visible from the front.

That would be helpful, @bkrantz . Any info or link on the ghetto method ?

Here's a photo from when I did my tach. I tried to be patient and slow, and VERY gradually pry up the edge of the retaining ring. After cleaning the glass, I crimped the edge back the same way.
