Interestingly, no! There was a sticker with a PN on the lariat one I ordered, but nothing like that on my cluster. I even looked up any embossed part numbers from the cluster that I could find, and they all pointed to the full instrument cluster assembly.
I think we’re missing the point here. There isn’t even a part number available to order for this on lower trims regardless. I am sure there are many other parts that you’d think are an uncommon need, but at the very least have a part number to reference and availability to order, regardless of...
we don’t need them to shut plants down for a single cluster lens - I would wait a month for one to come in. I think we just want the ability to order it regardless… that’s the goal here (at least on my end)
pretty solid guess, if you ask me.
However… I think it should be available regardless. Is the cluster different on the 25s now? Perhaps we will see XL and XLT 22-24 lenses available soon.
i have no idea. Probably one of the dumbest things I’ve seen… and this is my first ford so on a part that simple - it’s pretty clear what their goal is. Make parts available for the “high rollers”, and us “peasants” with lower tiered models have to replace the trucks sooner.
hopefully they...
Absolutely, 100%. to me, it's acceptable for now. Way, way better than what i started with.
I'll likely order 2 lenses once they become available, because why not.
I did what I was comfortable with. going further just means more plastic gets eaten away. It is far from perfect, but I did not expect perfect. I just wanted the etch marks out of here.
It's as good as it's going to get without the new cluster lenses being available (yet, wink wink Ford).
You've...
Hey everyone..
Spent a lil bit of time on this today with Meguiar's PlastX. A few notes to know about if you'd like to try this -
1. Use SMALL... and I mean small... like the size of a pea - dabs of this in small sections of the cluster as you move along it.
2. Use brand new, clean microfibers...
Relatively simple... but you will break the 2 clips along the side of the cluster surround panel. it is inevitable, unless you're Elastigirl or her male equivalent and can push the clips "in" as you're pulling out. You;'ll likely damage more if you do it that way, however.
Here's a good YouTube...
A user has been marked as "ignored" on my end for improper engagement on a public forum. Zero helpful comment came from him - so if you (a scroller) see posts where it looks like I am talking to myself... I was in fact, not.- 🤣
Perhaps you should read before commenting. Just a thought
It clearly states that 303 Interior Cleaner etched my gauge cluster lens.
Later, I mentioned that it was overspray of the cleaner that caused it, not a direct spray or wipe of the cluster..
Past that, I cannot help you comprehend the rest...
It is. all of the mounting points for attaching it to the cluster are different.
i don't know why it is either... perhaps @Ford Motor Company can let us know...
