It won't matter what you do. It will steam up again no matter what you do.

The heater hoses to the heater core run right under the gauge and the rising temperature in them and the cooler gauge cause condensation to form inside the gauge.

The VDO's don't do that...so far.

You MIGHT also notice some corrosion on the ammeter gauge terminals as well. That should add some concern to the durability of that gauge also?

The original has the reputation of catching fire.
