Mondeo Instrument Cluster Trim Rings

[hotdimmes]

The ebay guy I got it from is "seiferttom" One of you could try contacting him about a group buy. They ship out of Germany and I don't think his english is that great.

looking at this picture, I can see why it's easier to install for mondy's. They sit recessed into the cluster, probably on the actual gauges where as our's have to rest akwardly on the plastic bezel

I just put my dash bezel back in so I'll try and get some "installed" pics tonight.

Pics are kinda crappy but (I know, I need to redo the wheelskins cover):

I was thinking about getting a set for my Golf. Looks good.

how you can remove the clear cristal from the bezel? I just got my polish bezel. Any idea?

cut it off and then glue back on ...

 

[hotdimmes]

I actually didn't remove the clear plastic at all. Just used some clamps and some glue.

Yeah, it's um still a POS contour. :shrug:

IMHO, I'm done wasting my time on little bull**** like this.

In the running for worst post of the year. That really sucked. If you hate Contours so much, why are you here?



Nice job, Brian. Knowing you, it's going to look factory when it's done.

Yeah, so?:laugh:


Now that I recall riding in the car, I remember seeing the rings:troutslap:

I'm just not used to seeing so many noobs bringing back ancient threads for almost no reason. :nonono:

All the clusters I've ever taken apart from the SVTs I've had never required cutting or separating melted plastic before. :shrug:

When you snap the front cover off of the gauge cluster, you are left with the black bezel with 4 holes for the gauges, and the clear plastic that is attached to that. They were discussing removing that plastic to glue the rings on. I chose to pop them in from behind and use clamps to hold them in place.

Yeah, I got that after I reread what was going on.:laugh:
