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

 

can we get a pic of this? i havent had my car for like 7 weeks so i dont really know what youre talkin about lol

 

Yea, ill post a pic when i get home from work unless someone beats me to it.

 

i have the same thing, im gonna have to buy a bezel like blackack suggested

 

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

I'll take a better pic. Hold on.

 

I don't have this, but I covered my bezel anyway, I seriously think that's the easiest fix for u guys

 

cant see shit in that video

 

Just took a quick cell phone pic.

 

aww thats nasty that would annoy me too.

 

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

 

For us manual drivers thats not the case though.

 

your tach got herpes man, wtf.

 

HAHA herpes

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

mine has it too =(

 

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

 

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

 

only the cool cars have them

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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!"

 

I have em too. Just not that bad.

 

you have herpes?

 

i seriously just LOL'd.

 

i dont have this but i live by seattle so the weather does not get too hot lol

 

Thanks for letting us know. haha.
