Does the surround to the speedo just pull off having a little problem taking off?

I have had this same problem twice now, the first time i removed the electric ribbon that went to the speedo and replaced it with a second hand one which looked like new thinking it would last a few years but a couple of montha later the same thing happened again!
The speedo went off but the indicators kept working, the worst thing was the fuel gauge didnt work so even though i could use my phones gps to tell me my speed i just wasnt sure how much fuel i had left so i replaced the ribbon again and now it works fine but i dont know how long it will last.

I blame condensation in the car for this problem as it has happened in winter.
Replacing the filter behind the glovebox may help with condensation.
I might try wrapping it in tape and laquering to make it waterproof.

Anyway if you have the same symptoms try replacing the ribbon first!
