Hello all. Got my 66 beetle back from the auto body shop and discovered the inside glass of the fuel gauge and the speedometer are dusty. Before trial and error, thought I’d ask, any info on how to open those gauges up to clean them? Thanks.

Wear cotton gloves when handling the face. Do to The matt finish the slightest finger print will Show.
Do not attempt to wipe the face, the paint can easily come off, smear, stain
The finish of the face is very delicate!!!!!
Dont touch it
