  • Gauge Cluster Bezel

    Ok guys, I have a question. My girlfriend bought me an aluminum background gauge bezel for my car. I took my dash pieces off, took the cluster out, took off the speedo needles on the gauges, took the gauges off. Now how do I get the black bezel off of the window without breaking it? You guys know what I'm talking about? The black bezel is fused together with the window? Any tips?

    maybe sticking the assembly in the oven for like 5 mins?


    Depends what glue holds it together...the silicon that bonds the headlight lenses on breaks free if you stick the lights in the oven at like 300 for about 5-6 mins

      I don't know man, Sticking a plastic piece in the oven for 5 to 6 minutes doesn't sound to smart to me. It might warp.

        Anyone else out there have any idea? Think if I held a hair dryer to it long enough it would break free? I'm afraid to use a heat gun, don't wanna warp or burn it.

          Ummm, good luck ... got a dremel? I had a post about 3 months ago. You got more replies then I did!! Carefully cut the window from the bezel (patience), you are going to have to cut all the way around. There is room for error because the dashboard cover is wide. When you put it back together, you only need to glue about 4 points instead of all the way around.

                I have the same thing. I tried prying it with something. Heard it start to crack and stopped right away. Damn bezel is still sitting in my back seat. I think a dremel would be the safest way.
