What caused this? How do I fix??

I bought the truck used with this and it's driving me bonkers!


What do you think could have caused it?
How the heck can I fix??
Thanks!

 

Looks like someone took a torch to the console.
Get a new console?

 

Looks like some one got tired of looking at the light a put the sand paper to it.

 

Looks like someone used tape to cover the light then used some chemical to remove it.

 

The fix would be to just replace that component. Very simple to remove, and a replacement should be sitting in a junk yard.

 

either replace the screen or see if wetsanding it with a super high grit sandpaper will polish it out

 

Looks like it was wiped with acetone, to me. I'd just replace it if you can find a replacement cheap enough. Trying to wet-sand and buff it would be more work than it's worth... Good luck!

 

It looks like that it was scuffed with something. I would do what Detective Dan said before I would replace it. Worst case is you make it worse then have to replace it anyways.

 

yea, no need to buy a new one if you dont need to. polishing it with sandpaper should fix it, but worst case scenario is that you are where you're at right now: in need of a new display lol.

 

There are various fixes on the web for scratches on sunglasses. You might google that and see what you come up with. As others have mentioned, polishing it out might be the ticket.

is usually pretty cheap with used parts that in good condition. good luck in fixing or replacing.
