Default Gauges bubbling

I have a 1995 accord EX coupe. I have owbed the car since it was new. I have kept the car in the garage since new and use my sunshade whenever I park it out in the sun. In the past year, I have noticed the speedo, tach and fuel gauge have began to form bumps on the face of the gauges. The tach has a bump that is the size of a nickle. The gauge actually stopped working for a while, but began working again just recently. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? I have never seen this before. I assume the only way to fix this problem is the replace all the gauges? Any input would be appreciated.

I've never heard of that except in indiglo gauges, must be a freak factory defect. The gauge faces can be replaced individually or you can buy a whole new pod.

I've seen quite a few 94-97 accords with that same problem here is california even on my 94 the speedo started to bubble. I assume it's the glue not holdeing ..so I ended up replaceing the gauge with a extra 6th gen one .

I had the same problem with the gauges on my 96 and with Acura CL gauges that I swapped into it. Good thing is that the clusters are pretyt cheap on ebay and not too hard to swap in/out.

My ex-accord 94 had that problem since year 2000. It has two bubbles near the screws, It didnt bother me until you mention it as a problem. I was about to replace it with an indiglow then some stupid commercial van rear ended my car, and totaled it, no kidding
