OK. Following the advice of those who have been there and done it, I managed
to pry and twist the front bezels off two of my gauges. And now I know why
it was so tough -- it looks like the material behind the bezel that fits to
the glass face (was this rubber at some point?) after 31+ years in the sun
has either crumbled to dust or has become rock hard and stuck. Either way,
it's toast.
What's my best bet for replacing this -- I assume the bezel won't fit tight
against the glass unless some type of material is added. I was thinking
about gasket material or maybe fashioning a seal out of clear silicone caulk.
Any other thoughts?
