The LCDs are a bit trickier to remove from the housing on late clocks and i can't remember if you can separate the oe film without desoldering them or if you can just pull them out carefully unlike the early ones as demonstrated here : http://www.dubdesignindustries.com/installation/golf-lcd.pdf

Ive just taken the polarising film off, was abit hard to take off. I made a mistake of heating it up with misses hair dryer. By heating it up you will leave some glue on the lcd. I have cleaned both lcds up with white spirit. I remeber when i was young i used to take my calculator apart and flip the film over. I might go poind shop and buy a big cheap a$$ calculator and see if that works. By flipping the film around the lcd goes dark and number are colourless.

Theres a problem. I have taken the old polarised film off the lcd and put the new one on but they look same as before. The screen is not dark if i put the glue side onto the lcd but if i rotate it the lcd becomes dark. Have they sent me the wrong kit? Also the instalation guide is about fitting plasma dials.

Well i spoke with awesome and they said that the adhesive must be on the wrong side. So i need to send them back and they will sent me another set that they have on the shelf. Its funny how the adhesive is on the wrong side.

i know oh well never mind. I wasnt so sure if i was doing it right. But what i did was take the film off the lcd (so now the lcds will be blank) and then put the film on the way it ment to, but when i took the film off to stick it to the lcd it kept falling off only to realise that the glue is on the wrong side lol
