Camera is about 5-6 years old. The cover of the camera lens has become yellowed to the point that the picture quality is terrible. Glass cleaner does nothing. It points almost due south so the sun has really worked it over. Is there any way to replace just the lens cover? I haven't tried taking it apart yet, but I guess I really need to. In the second picture you can see the camera next to it which is just as old still has a nice sharp picture.

I have some plexiglas scraps and a CNC machine so I could probably make one if I can get it out.

Just checking to see if anybody has had this camera apart before I take mine under the knife.

Contact Andy, I believe he may be able to set you up with a replacement cover @EMPIRETECANDY
The cover gets pried off and new one with adhesive gets applied

Did you have to open any screws (asking about the turret)?

Pretty sure that it is cheaply tacked on front the front, as one of my older 5442 turret has a loose cover and needs a new dab of adhesive
You should be able to use a flat spudger to pry it off without marring the body and internals
