    Default How to Clean a Dirty Dash Panel

    Somehow have some liquid staining behind the plastic on my dash...right side on the tach from 3-6 and left side on the speedo next to 60-100.
    I removed the torx screws on the panel surround, but this doesn't allow me to just remove the plastic panel to clean the back of it.
    What else do I need to remove???

    Thanks!

    p.s. Yes, i finally clicked 3k miles on Blackbird yesterday... Thanks, groundhog

    Not sure about the ST but on my 2015 RT it was a common problem with the staining on the plastic glass over the tach and speedo.BRP replaced it under warrenty.

    U can try removing the whole cluster (described in manual for changing headlights) the clear lense is not supposed to remove however, if you have a leak maybe you can find it & suck the water out somehow, or warranty claim

    Nice! If only uncle Bob (as mentioned in the video) would perform the multi-panel removal required to clean up something that isn't supposed to happen in the first place...
