Dipricol Gauge Problem

[Elite1]

I am having a problem with my pyro (EGT) gauge. For no apparent reason, the white plastic circle in the middle of the gauge has come apart and is now laying at the bottom (interior) of the gauge. Apparently an adhesive was used, which stuck this plastic circular tab in to place gave out. Any idea if I can open this gauge somehow and re-adhere this tab? The gauge is about 8 years old and still works fine, it just looks funky now... here is a pic I took this evening:

Dang! Mine did the same. I was told by another person that you could open them up and repair it. Supposedly use a small screwdriver to bend the bezel open around the face of the guage, fix the glass and bend the bezel back into place. I may get a chance to see what a repaired guage looks like this weekend. I don't have a clue as to why they went with this design, when they got the other guages just perfect.

Jengle, Any luck with popping that lens off?

Haven't had a chance to try that yet. I have the chrome bezels, so any slip-ups with the tools used will be hard to cover up. I will update this thread, when I do it.
