    Has anyone figured out how to clean all of the dirt that seems to find it’s way behind the trip/odo knob?
    I got the plastic virtually scratch free but have no idea how to clean the mess behind the knob.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

    I thought about using some compressed air to blow out the dust through the hole, then slide a small rubber o-ring around the knob thingy up against the clear plastic to help seal it up a little. Screenprotech is a good product too

    You could vacuum it, then put an o-ring on the knob shaft like i did to prevent future dirt from getting inside there.

    My plastic is all scratched no matter what I use. Is Screen protect only good if you are scratch free or not. How do you apply it. I need more info on this.
