6C: Gauge cluster chrome trim replaceable?

Post by 2226 »

So yesterday went down the car in the parking lot and noticed the chrome trim on the speedometer where it runs up against the hood of cluster was looking weird.
Turns out it is peeling off in the corner. Don't know how that happens. It was just the chrome coating. Ran a thumbnail around it and it went back in.

The question is: are the chrome trims replaceable on the gauges?

It's 2017 6C. I don't need another OCD trigger while driving.

Thanks for that info. Thought as much. More expense, all I need.
I guess I'll keep an eye on it and see if it start lifting again.
