Help: - Water in the gauges

[TarzanBoy]

So, every time it rains, i get water in the speedometer and the tach.  LIke... enough water to fill a thimble or two.


How does one go about alleviating this problem?

[Roadstergal]

Clear marine silicone sealant.  Beats the crap out of duct tape.

[cheesy]

or with a cover..


that's wierd.. I never had that problem.. course it was never in the rain either

[Roadstergal]

course it was never in the rain either

Bah!  

My '04 never got water in the gauges when it rained.

[Phaedrus]

I don't get water in my gauges on my '04 F either.

Reminds me of a joke (adapted)

Q: What do walruses and motorcycle gauge clusters have in common?
A: They both like a tight seal.

:lol:

They are equipped to get in and drain out plenty of water ... but I'll second the stock seals ... but a set ... surprisingly you can still get them ...
Cool.

I never had a problem with rain in the '92 or my '04. I'll third that seal set. Either that or what RG said. It's a cheap fix either way. No biggie.

My neutral light is half-filled with water.  No other guage, just that one indicator.  I think it might have happened the last time I washed it.

The light is still working fine, but it doesn't seem to be draining/drying out either.
