The cheap little plastic dial for the AC and/or heat broke the other day, i tried fixing it but it's not going so well. Anyone know what i can do to replace it? I know there are the Rx8 rotory shaped ones, but i am not fond of them personally. How do i go about getting the oem ones? Thanks

Mine kept twisting one day. I managed to get it slid back on, but its not in the correct position.

They are way too easy to break

There was a tsb for the 2004 AC control ***** but I couldn't find it on the site.
They should be warranty..

MrSuicideDoor

Check your dealership. They'll probally be able to order them for you.

It is part# fe62-61-195 and goes for around $40

But the plastic the goes around the shaft is thicker.

It should be a warranty item.

MrSuicideDoor

wow they're asking me to pay for it

How'd you break it?

MrSuicideDoor

turning it to the left

these ***** are better quality than alot of cars that I came across. I'm shocked that it is broken so easily. May be the case of the operator...

MrSuicideDoor

The link to the TSBs is broken, does anyone know where else it may be? i don't want to fight over a 40 dollar part, but i don't like this dealership and they screw with me every chance they get.

MrSuicideDoor

there's no tonality on the internet but i hope you're joking... the plastic piece that turns the metal piece has to be as thin as a breath mint strip, i'm going to take pictures later.

Another clueless dealer.

Yes the original one is thin. In the photo the newer one is on the left.

CarAndDriver

Definitely a difference.

I had one dealer give me a hard time on the **** and demand $40.00. I told them to go screw. I brought it to a different dealer for a bunch of other stuff and they replaced it free without me having asked them. I was very pleased. The new one is much beefier and has held up well thus far. The original ***** were peices of crap.
