Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the glass to replace the needle
without violating the seal on the unit? *I've got it out of the panel and
will ship it tomorrow if I must, but I hate to have my ship down for a
couple of weeks.

Yeah, if the weather shows much promise, I could plug the pitot/static/TE
lines and just use my Android with its internal GPS to fly...


Nearly impossible to fix it without violating the seal. Mine fell off
two days before the Nationals last year. Got lucky with a field repair
of a trained technician the could get the seal reset.
