Default Removing Water Spots Behind Screen on Radio

Hello this is my first post. I've been lurking for about 3 years now and I finally joined So I've searched around but can't find what I'm looking for. I have a few little white water spots behind the screen on my radio and I want to know if there is a way I or someone can remove these spots. Is this a common problem? I thought the screens had a seal to keep out moisture?

I am fairly new to RX ownership myself so I am probably going to be as likely to be looking for help here as you. But I can tell you from participating on other model forums that you might benefit from including a little more information, such as the year of your vehicle and a photo of the condition you're describing, why you think it's caused by water, etc. Are there any signs of malfunction? Do you have warranty coverage? Maybe a few additional facts can help jump start a solution. Good luck and welcome.

I don't think this is a common issue, but fixing it would likely require one to take the dash out and get behind to where the screen is. It doesn't have a "moisture" seal around the screen, but does fit in to create a seal of sorts.

Sorry my man, looks like you can either have the dash torn up and fix it, or you can live with it. I had a small bug on my old one that worked his way into the screen area, so I know how you feel.

I'm sorry I thought I included the year, It's a 2005. The radio still works fine it's just the spots.

Have to love those little (and big) critters we have down here in the south.
