Disassembling gauge cluster?

Anyone have instructions on taking the gauge cluster apart? At least the plastic cover over each gauge. Reason I ask is because there is something spilled or stained on the right plastic cover (fuel and temp) as you can see in the picture below. I tried wiping it with a wet microfiber cloth and even lightly tried some plastic cleaner. Either it's on the inside or it's fubar.

I would be impressed if thats on the INSIDE of the lense. That bezel just snaps on so grab it and give it a pull but not too hard. You will have a connector attatched so be carefull.

Well I got the gauge cluster out. Whatever it is, it's not coming out. It's definitely on the outside though.

Sigh, guess I'll just have to order a new plastic cover.

Sounds about right. How much call would there be for that piece of plastic? Needs to be worth the cost of manufacturing. Try some of that headlight cleaner crap. If whatever that is didnt eat the plastic that stuff should work.
