Re: need to replace the screen of the seedometer CL216
Well ,the best thing I would do is search out a salvage yard and see if they have the part in question .
Then the dash covering will have to be taken off the panel of glass/plastic should be resting right behind the dash console.

The sliding door window glass in the '05 Chrysler Town & Country appears to be "stationary" as opposed to "power sliding" as seen in some other van's sliding doors. The glass removal procedure starts with the removal of the door trim panel. There will likely be at least a couple concealed phillips-head screws that will need to be removed. After that, the panel will only be secured by plastic retainers and can be popped-off using plastic pry tools; this should be done in warmer temperatures to avoid cracking the plastic trim. Next, locate and remove the nuts holding the the stationary glass to the fence. Use a razor blade to cut the butyl sealer holding the glass to the fence between the mounting studs. Finally, the glass can be pushed from the opening. You can read more about how to replace a side window here: https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-replace-a-side-window-by-spencer-cates
The glass is tempered. Any small stress points can build up unevenly in the crystalline structure. Cadillac has a HUGE problem in their CUE screen cracking. Been going on for years. Even denying units under warranty. $2000 repair (with labor).
Rather than paying a dealer $1200 replace the unit, there are services around that will replace just the glass in your head unit. Heres an exampme:
I believe these are plastic doors, so you can plastic weld a repair, or rough it up with sand paper and used fiberglass product such as "kitty hair" and glass mat, sand smoth and paint. Better still, there are tons of these in junkyards. Find one the right color and replace the door.
Those are usually sold as a one piece unit. I normally don't replace just the glass. Open the door panel up and you should see the wiring and 2 to 3 nuts holding the studs for that housing din place. remove those and remove the housing. As far as opening the housing I don't even think you can.
The motor is atached to the lever by a small blue plastic piece. When this plastic gets old and cracks you will still hear the motor working but the glass will not pop. First undo the two screws on the handle in side. The plastic part of the handle will come off. to open you will have to pull the plastic back in the center (dont pull to hard it can break) and reach the mechanism with your hand. push the lever twords the passanger side of the car and the glass will pop open. after that take the plastic of the tail gate with the two screws on the side and pull it until the clips that hold it on let go. You will then be able to see the broken plastic piece. you can zip tie it together but its worth it to replace it.
You need to put on a pair of gloves, and safety glasses. (Safety First !) Prise off the broken mirror from the plastic base that it is stuck too.
Give the plastic a clean with nail polish remover or similar.
Peel off the backing on new mirror glass, and carefully stick it on.
If the metal pivot arm is not broken you can just replace the glass and plastic housing. To remove the glass you tilt the glass down towards the floor and use a wide plastic or wood bladed object to prise from behind, the glass should pop off from its clips. Remember to catch it if its not damaged. To remove the housing once the glass is out you need to look underneath the mirror unit, there you will find a small plastic bung, gently prise it out and then use a long small flat bladed screwdriver straight up inside the hole and lever towards the front of the car whilst lifting straight up on the plastic housing, this should then lift off. To replace just slot the new housing on and click into place then fit the glass back, remember to connect the wires first if it is a heated glass.
If the metal pivot arm is broken then you will find the remaining screws behind the plastic trim inside the vehicle.
