So, it is a simply as I was thinking, right?... Remove gauge, pry/unbend the crimped edge, remove back, remove inside gauge part, replace glass, install inside gauge part, crimp/roll edge back over, and install gauge.
On my 87, there was a rubber/ plastic film on the glass and it was detaching from the glass (creating a bubble effect). I opened the gauge and removed the film from the glass - I left only the glass. it's a delicate job but can be done by a DIY'er.

Thanks,
Mark
