RE: [Chrysler300] Replacement for instrument glass glue 55-59

["Gary Nelson" <gnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith is correct. The "goo" started out as a ring that fit in the grove, and
extended just above the housing where the lens sits. Heat and sun made it
run. Bad choice of material.

Thank you,
Gary, the parts doc

  When I was doing my C instruments I asked about this "gray goo" and I
  was told that it actually started out originally as a compressible gray
  gasket material. It was said that it only became a goo as it
  deteriorated over time. Made sense to me. Perhaps someone has
  different information, but that's the way I got it.
