I'm noticing that I'm getting some condensation and fogging in a few of my gauges on my 308 GT4. Wondering how many others have experienced this, and what can be done to stop it. Any tips? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Windscreen seal ? Use a “ seak n seal “ product .Found in marine stores . Or the AC cabin chiller s waters leaking out damping carpets etc and the moisture is rising settling under the cold glass and condensation forms .
You could try using some anti-fog stuff made for car interiors. Applying a small amount to the inside of the gauge cover can prevent condensation. Just be cautious with the application to avoid any damage to the gauges. One trick that worked for me was throwing a small bag of silica gel in the glove compartment. It soaks up moisture and helps keep things from getting all foggy. Oh, and also, check the ventilation system too – sometimes, it's a matter of airflow.
I've got some of this happening. It comes on mostly when cold; after 15-20 minutes of driving, it goes away. V strange. I was thinking of putting an anti-fog like used for ski goggles on the gauge glass interior. Gotta open up the gages. It's been doing this for a while, and so far, I live with it.
Just a hunch..... Maybe the gages originally have some coating which goes away after years?? Again, I don't know.
I have the same issue. On another forum, I read that this occurs because the inside of the glass gets a little bit dusty so it becomes much more responsive to condensation. The idea is that once you clean the glass, it should stay fog-free. The only problem is how to get the chrome bezels off without destroying them... I think I'll bring my gauges to a specialist.
It can be done if you are careful and read the threads that have been published about this - These are veglias from a Pantera: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very nice, thanks for posting those pics. I think my biggest problem is finding time to take on such an endeavor!
I took a gauge apart on my 69 Alfa Spider and it was a painfully slow process and found it very difficult to reinstall properly without a press with the correct diameter die. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
