Meter Glass Replacement GS1000S Picture attached

[Vmass]

Can someone tell me what is holding this white glass retainer piece in?

Is it simply the gasket has fused the two together?

[Nessism]

Adhesive hold the glass in. Maybe heat carefully with a hair drier before trying to pry out old glass?

It should come out really easy so don't go melting anything there with a hot air gun. If you haven't got a new glass keep the bits as a pattern - it's pretty easy to make up a new one (that's what i had to do on mine).

[Vmass]

It wasn't easy... the hair dryer did the trip. The glass is in a rubber gasket which adhered to both sides of the meter and to the glass itself. I think I will be able to salvage the gasket.

I do have a new piece of glass.

Any suggestions on what to use to clean the plastic on the meters, I don't want to bleach any of the lettering.

I presume you mean the dial faces? I use Mr Sheen household furniture polish - wiped in gently as that paint is fragile. It also works brilliantly as a lube on the other side.

Thanks guys...it was mostly a success. I do have to pull the fuel/clock/temp part off again. I must have hit the second hand during reinstall and pushed it in towards the dial.

You have a beautiful set of gauges there Rich. When you install the fairing make sure none of those plastic tabs around the top edge are under stress by the fairing since those tabs love to crack and snap off.

My S is missing the plastic knob (finisher) on the clock. What can you tell me about that, and do you have any suggestions on a replacement piece?

[JEEPRUSTY]

WOW those are super clean gauges.

[Vmass]

Unfortunately, one of the tabs is broken ( fuel gauge points to the broken tab). The previous owner did super glue it back on, so once installed it is not visible.

The clock set knob is a simple piece of black plastic with a small screw which threads through the clock post.

Ed, does your glass face have a clear round piece within the glass hole, where the clock post comes out? If not, finding the knob may not do you much good.

If I come across one, I will let you know.
