The fan control **** has been loose/off for awhile in my 8 now. Have been controlling it with pliers, which is becoming a pain. Nothing is cracked or broken. But I can't just slide it back on to the white pillar because it sinks into the head unit anytime it has pressure. Anyone had this same problem? How could I reinforce the white pillar to stay?

Thanks
Will post some pics of my 8 soon
