Mark VII RPM Gauge Stuck

Just recently I slid my car over some metal rods, light dings on the body of my car. So i'm quite fortunate in that aspect. They dings are on my driver's side not in the area of the engine. Might have nothing to do with the Gauge.

Anyway, I started my car this morning when i was going to bend the panel back so my drivers door can open. I watched as i started the car, i didn't have my foot on any petals, the rpm gauge rose up quite quickly and instead of stopping as it usually does it went all the way to the end of the display case and is now stuck and wont return to its original place even when i turn the car off.

I don't know of a way to open my display case to access the stuck guage and see if moving the guage back to zero would do the trick or not. Otherwise the car runs smooth. Anyone?

Never mind, Somehow it fixed itself when I was racing my friend.. Got the RPMs high enough it seemed to click back on its own which i didn't notice till i was heading back from the destination.
