VDO clock issue ( after rebuild )
Hey everyone -
So I just got my clock back from a rebuild service and noticed that there is a lot of play in the center adjusting arm. ( left and right wiggle, up and down wiggle ) There is also a lot of play in the white clock arm and some in the glass if i wiggle the center adjusting arm. I don't remember any of this being there before i sent it off for a rebuild.  Anyone else have this with their clock ? The clock does seem to be keeping accurate time. Here is a video : https://youtu.be/3Va3qVSzxAA thanks Kevin

I don't know...doesn't look right to me.
My 84 has a black plastic or rubber bushing that is in the gauge face. It keeps the stem rigid. Is yours missing? |

i have that -
I looked at it again..... its like the glass is not mounted tight , so the center adjuster and the glass are wiggling around together... ugh The clock is still keeping time after about 16 hours though ..

I would pull the clock out. Look to see if something is wrong with the band that is around it.
Good luck..you'll get it fixed. |

Maybe the trim ring isn't properly seated.

dg567 / Steve -
thanks, Yep - I think something didn't seat correctly when the trim ring got reinstalled.  The only thing to do now is send it back and have them redo it. Its clearly not right. Kevin

Can you press the trim ring down any further?
