Humidity from sitting took off a plastic coating the inside of the glass gauges had. Used a metal scraper and cleared it up. Haven't been able to drive the car to see if the humidity comes back.

It is a normal "design feature" on our quirky cars , it comes and goes with differing conditions (I believe you have just lost summer) as your gauges are a physical interface with the outside world and the warmer cockpit.

Over time you will come to accept what those with front engined cars consider a "fault'

I had the same problem over summer here. But haven't seen it all winter, i expect it will return in the next few months as our tropical summer returns.....I think it's normal.

As the others have said, it is certainly is normal on my car, especially when driving on a cool evening with the lid off. Cheers
