Hi Guys,
I've sold the 99 Continental because its torque oversteer scared me and it was so cushy and comfortable at high speed that I kept getting tickets thinking I was cruising slowly...
Now that the grieving is over I am trying to fix up and detail my 99 Town Car to equal pristine condition. Here is where things get sticky. I was foolhardy enough to ask the guy in charge of detailing at the Volvo dealer what he used to clean car interiors. He told me to use SuperClean without explaining that it should be used highly diluted and never in no case should it be used on transparent plastics.
Move forward to my mopping down my Town Cqr interior with this product only to find that it clouded my perfectly new condition instrument gauge cluster. Then I parked the car in the barn for winter storage and upon taking it out of its car jacket in the summer I found that the plastic had cracked all over the place where the scratch marks used to be. Now it looks like somebody took a hammer to it and smashed it.
The dealership says you can't buy just the plastic cover but need to purchase the entire setup complete with its connectors. Don't even ask at what price. So I need some advice on where to look, the online junkyards I contacted didn't pan out. It would really help if anyone here had already taken one apart and knew if it is indeed a separate plastic casing that can be found somewhere at a reasonable price.
So I thank you in advance for any advice... !
Cheers,
Vic
