Hi

Looking to replace the front bezels on my 70 chally......whats the best way to "peel" off the old one? Looks a bit delicate in there and I don't want to screw anything up looks wise


Thanks!

Do you mean the wood grain? On a Rallye cluster the wood grain is on a piece of aluminum. The aluminum is held on by little tabs, visible from the back of the cluster; un-twist them and you can lift off the aluminum face. If you mean the clear plastic gauge lenses it is held on by a few small clips, visible when the aluminum is removed. If you mean the gauge faces themselves, they are painted.

sorry fellas, dont have a camera until tuesday

and yes, thanks Adam, I mean the wood grain backed by aluminum......


What color are the tabs on the back supposed to be? I see not only "tabs", but glue of some kind holding it back there as well..........

There is glue also. Use a putty knife to work it off so you don't bend it.
