Guest Harry Connors Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Folks I was trying to remove the chrome trim around my instrument cluster (48 Continental) and busted the glass cover over the instruments. I have an extra instrument cluster that has a good glass but the instruments are not so nice. What is the correct way to take the glass out of the cluster? I now know that the chrome trim has metal retainers on the inside. I hate having to learn the hard way. Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry Connors Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Folks, anyone have an extra to sell or know where I can obtain the glass for the instrument cluster? I need to finish up the dashboard. Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harry Connors Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi Gene thanks for the tip but I am stationed in Germany and the only glass shop that I know of and took it to said they could not do it because the glass was for a car! No Lowes here I am afraid. I will keep trying the ads and eBay. Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Murphy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Harry, I have two post war instrument clusters and both have plastic for the faceplate cover. Not glass. Want one? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harry Connors Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 John I sure could use one. Interesting is that both the one that came out of my 48 Continental and the spare instrument cluster both have glass and they both are busted/cracked. I will contact you off forum.
