    Just bought a used 2011 Prius.
    The climate control display is not clear at all. Is the clear plastic replaceable?
    Or can it be polished? Or do I have to replace the entire unit? IMG_0917.jpeg

    Try Mothers Aluminum Polish. You can get it from walfart.

    I used "Meguiar's PlastX" to polish it and it cleared it up close to new.

    I did the exact same.... worked like a charm! I even applied a little headlight sealant, I had lying around, just for a little extra protection. No issues since!
