Fog inside of gauge cluster

[Matchstick08]

Just noticed this today as the sun hit it just right. Haven't used any liquid cleaning products recently. When/if I do, I don't spray directly on plastic and keep away from the cluster anyways. It's along the bottom edge. I tried uses a lens cleaner wipe to remove and it seems to have no effect.

Is this something the dealer could repair or should I just wait and see if it goes away?

without melting the clear plastic!, what about a hair dryer..just heating the general area up? And the the question is why is this happening? Hell, I don't' know.

Could be a symptom of another problem. Moisture/ humidity is a prime cause of fogging. I'd be looking for damp carpet etc.
Try running your AC/ defroster to dry the interior air, might take a few days.

that's a sealed unit in most cases.....the fog is indicating that the seal is broken and moisture is able to get in.....
