condensation inside gauges...

Anyone else having this problem?

I noticed this evening, while driving with the windows down, that condensation had formed inside all three of my autometer gauges.

(before anyone tries to be funny...NO, it wasn't raining!!!)

It eventually goes away, but it is very annoying, as you can't really see the gauge very well until it clears up.

Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks.

Try to seal where the bulb housing goes into the gauge with a little silicone. On any Autometer gauge I had that was the only opening. The rest should be sealed. Make sure to do it when they are nice and dry. Either take them out and bring inside to dry out or run the defroster with the heat on for about 20 minutes. Should do the trick.
