Dust behind plastic cover to dashboard
I've had my 2015 F33 since April. I dust/clean up the interior about once every 3 to 4 weeks. I am very careful not to wipe the plastic in front of the dash or the temperature display as I can tell they will scratch easily. However, a small amount of dust has found itself on the inside of the speedometer display. I am tempted to unscrew the piece (I notice there is a screw at the top), but I'm concerned about creating a bigger issue than I have now.
I'm doing my best to ignore it, but it is prevalent in the right sunlight and driving me a bit nuts. Has anyone had to remove the plastic to clean behind it? Last edited by abinder99; 01-25-2016 at 05:04 PM. |

I haven't done it yet, but I've heard you just have to take out the two torx screws at the top and pry the clear shield off. I would suggest using rubber gloves to avoid leaving any finger prints and a can of compressed air to get rid of the dust instead of a cloth. All the plastics in the cluster look very prone to scratches/smudges.

If you end up removing the cover, please post how it went.
I have marks on the inside (by the trip odometer reset button). It drives me nuts. Called my dealer and they said that the cover can't be ordered as a separate part and the entire cluster would need to be order. |

I have a similar dust issue with my 13 335. The F-30 Bentley manual is supposed to be released in Mar. Hopefully that will have some guidance on removing the instrument cluster and the clear lens,
