I tried searching and couldn’t get anything besides removing the whole dash. I’ve been googling trying to find out a way to do this.

The instrument/ speedo plastic lens on my 2016 1000-3 has gotten so sun beaten that’s it’s getting almost impossible to see anything behind it. Before I start prying on the plastic and crack it, is there a way to remove just the plastic cover to clean it?

I honestly was considering using the cerakote headlight restoration kit on it. I’ve tried cleaning it but it just looks terrible no matter what. Any suggestions?

I had my instrument cluster replaced due o the backlighting stopped working. I believe it is a one piece unit and the plastic face is not removable ........ if i recall the new cluster unit was not that expensive.

Don't pry on it. There are screws holding the cluster onto the back side of the dash. Your going to have to remove the dash and lift it up enough to get behind it to take the screws out and then drop out the cluster

I would be interested to know how well that worked out. Thinking it would work OK.

If it were me, I’d tape the dash off, get the cheapest headlite restoration kit and give it a polish
