Dear David,

I endorse Andrew's method, particularly using clear slow-set epoxy
glue and a bit of modeling clay over the outside of the cracks --
after epoxy has started to flow out of them.  My personal experience
with cyanoacrylates has left me very wary of the breed.

The whole issue with stress-cracking of the instrument clusters shows
that VW didn't understand plastics and plastics engineering as well
as they thought they did.  Not an uncommon thing, unfortunately.

Yours,
David
