I noticed that on my Tach, the area around the small screws in the center is starting to "bubble up".

What causes this? Can it be fixed?

I know that may sound like a weird description, i will try to post pics for people who dont understand when i get home from work this evening.

i know what you're talking about, its on the black part of the gauges right on the screw hole.
i don't think its fixable though. i think all clusters might actually have it.

Just get a bezel face and call it a day, they're real cheap 94-97 accord

I have it too. I'm not sure it's a defect, rather just the way it is?
Unless some people don't have it

You can see it around the screws on the tach. It's minor tho.

I got used to it. At least it's not on the speedometer. I never look at the tach anyway.

DaInFaMMuS1

For us manual drivers thats not the case though.

your tach got herpes man, wtf.

lilbatman626

HAHA herpes

Tehvine

Glad my gauges do not have STD's, that would piss me off. But yeah I do agree, just get new faces.

ZeroCL

my assumption on what it is, is something that has to do with heat maybe? cause its weird for that to expand like that.

lilbatman626

It may be from the screws getting overheated somehow. Thats just a guess

The strange thing is that all the members that I have seen with this problem, it is always on the tach side. Some worse than others. I just never wanted to point it out cuz mine are the same.

Orlando3.0

Man that sux, glad I don't have that shiz, it's ugly. I say cover them bitches with some guage faces. Just don't break your needles

ZeroCL

is it the plastic thats like that? or is there some kind of thing on the faces that did that?

GianJ30a

only the cool cars have them

ajbent86

Wow, mine is not that bad. But thats exactly what im talking about.

It may have something to do with the heat. I live in Charlotte, NC and we have been battling 100 degree heat in the past month. I noticed this about a week ago.

It's def from the heat

Dicorp

that looks shitty but i guess its pretty innocent. unless of course they get so large that the needles scape it

It's something on the faces. Kinda like when a sticker bubbles up from heat.

DaInFaMMuS1

that shit is damn nasty. Im glad temperatures around here fluctuate so that the heat doesn't effect my dash like that.

I'm supprised the rest of the interior isn't bad besides the seats.
Texas heat + original owner leaving the car outside for 10 years with no tint =

When you look at the gage as a whole, it's doesn't look that bad..

Garages help too

ZeroCL

Looking at the gauges as a whole is like using cream for herpes..its still there.

^^^ Your breaking my balls with the herpes jokes bro!

Reminds me of something from TWO and a half MEN. Something about a goat..

edit: "You can put a tuxedo on a goat, but... it's still a goat!"

SwervinCL

I have em too. Just not that bad.
