Thread: Do reverse-glows make your gauges stick?

    Do reverse-glows make your gauges stick?

    ...cuz my paper ones are outta hand and that thin paper, I don't even want to try those reverse glows unless someone here has bought them and their gauges still work.

    mine has the same problem with the sticking. It's soo strange cause i have those things on their tight, and i know those holes are big enough cause i made them a little extra big.

    If they stick is totally dependent on how you attach them. Some people use that black goo crap, and that works like ass. It applies too thick and causes the back side of the needle to contact the gauge face. I use 3m double sided tape, it is just like scotch tape and very thin, just douple stick. Use that and you will have no problems with your needles sticking!

    I may possibly be getting gauges printed up on sticker vinyl and selling them if there would be any interest. That's what I ended using on my hatch. The coupe has the reverse indiglo and they work fine.

    But then the lights wouldn't be glowing through. I have had my procarparts gauges for a year and some months now and there's no problems. The place I had them put in used a hot glue gun.
