Default Cosmetic issue with HUD display

See the larger square piece under the clear plastic in this picture? It has the curved top and small hole in it.





On my car, somehow that has ended up with a "crackle" finish. Probably from heat although it is only a part time driver.

Sooooo...

1. How hard is it to get to?

2. What is it made off?

3. Can I just sand it smooth and repaint it?

4. Have any of you done this or had the same issue?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, so I too would be interested in a solution that doesn't involve replacing the entire unit. Worth noting that my heads up still seems to work just fine.

I thought my HUD was the only crackle-finish one around! Now I don't feel bad. LOL

Oh, and at car shows, I usually put the registration card inside my windshield right above the HUD unit to hide it.
