Hey guys a while back i bought a carbon fiber bezel to put in my cluster, but while i was doing it i broke the glass b/c i didnt know i too take if off. So i saw a auto cluster off ebay and it's almost over so i wanted to buy that cluster for dirty cheap and take the glass off and put it on mine manual cluster. Just wanna know i guess is will the glass fit you think? and how to take off the plastic part carefully?? Or how did you put your bezel in?

 

hey, i got just the cluster part if you want it, i'll give it to you for like 20 bucks or something if you're interested? i know this isn't the forsale section...but..yeah..he needs it..i dont...its sitting on my desk right next to me..

Now that's business man. Turning the tech thread into a for sale/sold thread. Nice work. Best of luck getting the thing put together without breaking it.

 

yeah i know great huh, but how do i put the bezel in w/o breaking it the plastic glued down nicely

 

hey, we're here to help each other...i'm hoping?

abusive i'll pm you with my info.

 

ok,but does neone know how to remove the plastic plz help

 

It should just be platic tabs that you push down and out. I did that with my Si cluster. It's not difficult at all.

 

never done it with a EG cluster but i did on on my MX-6 i had in High school, i took a really small regular screwdriver and stuck it in the really small gap between the black and clear plastic, rotated gently so not ot crack the plastic and just went alllllllll the way arround reall slow untill it popped off. sorry no pic how this helps a lil bit

Yep takes all of about ten seconds....not hard on the slightest

The clear plastic piece is glued to the bezel. The only safe way of removing it without breaking the plastic is to heat it up.

 

thank you a guy who know what im talking about, but how do i heat it up? will a blow dryer work?

 

Those who say it's 10 seconds are talking about EK clusters.

I've replaced the "glass" on my EK cluster since mine was good with no tach, I switched for a EX cluster with a crack. Those are easy.

On the EG it's glued on hard, with no push tabs. I had a JDM cluster in my coupe and it came with a scratched glass, so I switched them too.

What you do is use a BOX Cutter. You need a box cutter, because it's the only thing skinny enough to get in there. Slip the blade in between the glass and the cluster, and "cut" the glue beads. Firm yet gentle, this is hard glue, not soft glue. When it breaks, it snaps, so be careful.

This is the cluster when I got it: (deep smudges, scratches)



Switched glass with my coupe:

 

so to put it back on after i put the bezel in do i use glue

 

Yes.

Use superglue, but dont use the tip of the glue applicator on the cluster or glass, or you get frost. Pour the glue on something and use like a pencil tip to spread the glue.
