Cleaning out instrument cluster

[Berglund]

Hi,
The instrument cluster on my 500e needs a cleaning
Does anyone on the forum know how to disassemble the instrument housing?
I want to access and clean properly.
I would also like to remove the plexiglass, and also change this to a new one.
Is it possible to buy new plexiglass?
Check the pictures

Best Regards
Niklas

I have done this on my 500E, after I disassembled all components, I washed the empty case without removing the plexiglass with warm water and soap several times and it came out nice.

I have done it on a W126 instrument cluster, to refurbish the cluster to cure it from the "Dreaded Dot Disease." It takes extreme caution and indeed it is a good idea to have a spare cluster in case you break or ruin something.
