Gauge Cluster Lens Condensation

in General Discussion

On cooler days (<60F), I notice condensation forms on the inside of my gauge cluster lens, right behind the fuel pressure indicator. The airplane is a 1969 Cherokee 140/160. Does this happen to anyone else? I am not quite sure what would be getting warm behind it. I know there is an oil line for the oil pressure sensor, but I have not found any leaks.

    Take the cover off and let it dry out for a few days. While the cover is off, look around for leaks and corrosion.

    How do you get the cover off? I am always afraid the plastic will crack.

    Hi, it presses up from the top or bottom. It's flexible. However, if it should break due to old age, it is replaceable. Not to worry.
