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

I just floated the lens face down on the surface of a shallow pan of warm  
water for 15 minutes and it softened the formerly rock hard goop right up.   
It could then be scraped off with a fingernail.  No scratches in the  
plastic lens.
 
Do not submerge the lens or the white lettering in the depressions on the  
back side will wash off!!

If I remember  correctly, I was able to clean off the gray goo merely by 
using dish soap  and warm water, along with a soft sponge. Scotch Brite may 
be overkill and  will leave scratches. Take your time on this.
