I'm surprised the car is still running now that the engineer has died.

I had dust inside from the previous owners 150' dirt drive. Followed the aluminum bezel directions and just installed a new plastic cover. Figured as long as I was in there no sense in putting back a 4yr old scratched one. If you like the alum bezels, do them while your in there too.......

Scratches can happen if you are not careful. I clean/dust my cover with Pledge and a very soft cloth. Never terry cloth or towels.
