My 1974 1.8 with center gauges has a perennially foggy temperature gauge. Sometimes the fogging is worse than other times but never goes away. I have read this thread:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;#entry358798 and am reluctant to throw it in the oven. Aren't the lenses plastic? Anyway, it is currently sitting in a plastic bag with rice inside another bag with Damp Rid but no improvement yet. The thought of drilling a hole in the back to equalize the inside/outside moisture is interesting but I would worry about damaging something inside the gauge. The fogging has been there since I have owned the car and I'm wondering if it would ever clear up without removing the lens and cleaning it. I am not anxious to unroll the edge; I have done that on larger gauges like the speedometer before, but the small edge scares me a bit. Anyone else have experience in this? Thanks, Paul PS This is a clean gauge but a cell phone picture with a bright LED light is merciless!
