similiar post
there is another similiar post on here of recent times in which i replied with this....just an idea
i have had this problem a couple time and have heard about it several times. I often wonder if its not necessarily that the housing isn't holding a seal, but that the speedo wasn't vacuum sealed from the factory. If the gauge is put together in a high humidity environment and not vacuum sealed, then obviuosly when the lens of the gauge quickly meets an atmosphere of significant differential temperature from the air inside the gauge, any humidity trapped in the gauge will immediately condensate onto the lense. This will happen repeatedly if the seal is actually good because the trapped moisture can never escape. Just a scientific approach........ also, if you can't replicate the problem at the shop, they will often turn you away for "warranty" work.
