Smudged glass inside tach?

I've got an unusual one on my new MCS. The inside surface of the glass on my tach is smudged - streaked and smeared. It's often visible, and under a quartering rear sun the smudges cast shadows on the tach dial face. Looks like a valid dealer issue, agreed?

If they are removing or swapping tachs, maybe I'll have the JCW shift lights unit installed... should cut the shop time for the install, one would think.

I have the same problem on my new MCS except it's the glass on the automatic heating/AC window that is fogged and smudged.
