Got caught in a little rain bringing a tractor home and noticed that the oil gauge had somehow gotten moisture behind the glass. Other than replacing it, is there a way to "dry" it out ?
Appreciate any suggestions. It's a real job to pull the dash and replace the gauge. Thanks.

I've been known to drill a small hole in the back. Grinder works better to cut small hole at bottom edge to drain and let air circulate. You probable should plug it with something after it drys out, unless you live here where it never rains.

Hand held hair dryer worked for me, the first time you dry it out the the moisture will come back in a few hours, you will most likely have to dry it five or six times. each time you will see less moisture on the glass. and you don't have to remove it to do this.
