Cracked instrument cluster cover - can it be replaced??

Hi all,

very weird damage occurred - the Perspex cover to the instrument panel has a crack which started at the bottom in exactly the centre of the 'lens'', and has worked its way slowly up the glass - you can't hardly see it from straight ahead but from the side it looks awful!
I went to the parts shops, new and used, and they say that you can't get just the plastic cover by itself, you have to replace the whole dial surround with it. Anyone have experience of this? I'm also wondering how the heck it happened anyway...
