Sorry fellas, wasnt sure where to put this one. Anyways... My mom has an 02 GT Vert. and its getting pieces of dirt and crap in the gauge cluster. Does anyone know how to keep it from gettin in there? (besides leavin the top up!) Im not real sure as to how it gets in there in the first place but it has to go. Thanks in advance.

i don't know if there is a way to keep it out...but it's really easy to clean up.

Just take your cluster out and you'll see there are about 8 screws holding the bezel around the cluster, take it apart and clean it up!

Should take you about 30-45min for the whole thing

I don't have that problem. Is she driving it down dirt roads or something?

No, she took it to tennesse and back (from ohio) then i took it and there was a lot of dust all over everything. No dirt roads... I'd kick her @$$. Thanks for the help fellas... let me know if you hear of anyway to stop this... Im thinking about puttin a gromet around the trip reset, but Im not sure how thats going to look...
