clusterbezelrepairs.jpg '92-96 Cluster Bezel Repairs

It's common for the clips across the top snap off their mounting posts, but the posts are hollow, so it's fairly easy to install a screw.  The hardest part is getting the final 1/4 turn on the screw so the clip stays tight.

It's even more common for the screw holes behind the trim strips to break out, but it's easier to repair them.  I used this plumber's strap to hang some hardware for powdercoating, which is why it's black.  But since it'll be totally hidden, plain strap is just as good.  Even if the holes haven't cracked yet, this mod will prevent them from ever breaking.
