I have a scratch on my navi screen. Is there anyway to get rid of it. Can you turn the screen around. I tried opening it up. I thought once I took the 4 bolts off I would be able to open it up and it was so easy and I couldnt open it. Let me know what I should do..

 

how bad is the scratch? I don't think there is anything out there that fixes scratches on screens. Talk to Acura, they might be able to to change the screen.?.

 

would plastic polish help? meguiar's makes something like that to remove fine scratches.

 

the scratch is not bad but I want to get rid of it. Has anyone opened it up. I was hoping maybe the backside was the same as the front and I could just flip it...

 

dont open it up , the back is connections. its not the same.

 

I have a scratch as well, and some time ago on this board someone advised using Armor-all protectant. I apply it to the screen about once a month and it does a nice job of hiding the scratch. Eventually it wears off from your finger touching the screen, but the inconvenience of re-application sure beats having to buy a new screen.

 

Bump anyone else have any advice...

 

Plexus Plastic Cleaner and Polish - it will only clean it but seal the plastic to hide the scratch and make is attract less dust.

 

Has anyone done this before. I know the screen has a non reflective coating to it. Will using the plexus plastic cleaner remover the non reflective coating.

 

the anti reflective coating is probably plastic too - but to be safe you can contact them and ask

groebuck1 ---- Thanks for the info...

They said that I could use it on the screen. So I will be doing that today.

I will keep everyone posted on if it worked or not..

 

did it work?

I have a scratch also from the people at the body shop and at the dealers cleaning it without the blue rag

 

if you un screw the four screws on the navi screen should it pop right out?

 

I thought it would but it didnt...

 

I couldn't say "when" it was posted, but a while back someone posted that our navi screens could not be replaced without changing out the entire unit. That put the skids on any dream I had of replacing mine, too.

If that's changed please let us know...

yeah, mr. . please let us know if that plastic polish works. i know tons of people have scratches on their screens and for me it's really annoying!!!
thanks,
peter.

 

Does anyone know of any local stores that I have pick up some Plexus. I've been to AutoZone and R&S wih no luck.. I've seen it on the internet but I wanted to buy them from a local store so I would have it quicker...

 

let me know too. I need that stuff for my fog light. Dan, if you find it, pick some up for me so we can fix my fog light.

 

No problem eric.. Hopefully I find some today..

 

try Home Depot..........plus where did u end up findin a navigation system......peace

 

Damn, this is an old ass thread! Anyway, I was told by my local Acura dealership that they can send in the whole navigation unit to Alpine to be serviced for anything except water damage for $200. He told me they would take out the unit for $100, and put my dash back together, another $100 to take it apart and put the unit back in. Better than buying the whole unit! Hope this helps for those of you that still have your TL's

 

for using the search function. I won't jump you about dragging back up an old thread because that shows you did search. If every new guy were so thoughtful..
