I've been doing a little research about how to get rid of condensation in a tach and wanted to see if anyone has found a good solution. It's a Veglia, and after riding out from the garage the condensation forms under the glass and usually dissipates in a couple of hours. Any cure that doesn't involve removing the bezel?

getting rid is one thing, keeping it out is another.
Get some of those packets of dessicant and put those in a bag with ur tach. That will get rid of it.
Don't know how to keep it out though.

I'm on my third dash panel on the Griso. The problem was fixed by moving from Oregon to San Diego! :grin:

If you can get to the back of the unit, check and see whether it has one or more small vent holes. If so, gently probe them to see if there is dirt or some other blockage there that may be preventing the atmosphere inside the gauge from equalizing humidity etc. with the outside. Not all devices have these vents, but if they do and they become blocked, they can trap a slightly higher level of moisture inside than the condensing level outside - especially when going from a warm garage to cooler outside morning air.
Moisture, let alone cool air, is not usually an issue here in the Mojave...

No vent holes that I can see, but if I pull the light that might give me some ventilation. I've heard of using desiccant, but wasn't sure how effective that would be.
