CONDITION: Some customers may comment about instrument panel cover glaring in the windshield.

CORRECTION: Refinish instrument panel cover using the established field repair procedures as described in the 1991 Custom Cruiser Service Manual, General Body Service Section.

Procedure:
1. After removing the instrument panel cover, remove all grilles, outlets, etc. from the cover.
2. Refinish the instrument panel cover with the appropriate vinyl color paint.
