Default sticky needles!?!?!!?

i have a set of reverse glow gauges and every morning they stick. Its like somethingis blocking them. Is there a special trick for which i can fix this?

The way i get them to work is the heat the car up and drive a mile or two, but im worried that just puts stress on the needles.

thanks

Get a fork or a kitchen knife (something tiny) and lift the needles like a milimeter or so...thats what I did to mine and it works fine. Just be careful notto lose some of the pins that hold needles...I lost two, found one but never put it back. The were the last ones tho!
