Re: Climate Control Selector.........DAMN

[eric chase person <eperson@students.uiuc.edu>]

i had that problem with the top lever popping off of the post that holds
it on.  I ended up jb-welding a dime on top of the post to keep them from
coming off.  Has to be the most f-ed up fix i have ever done to my car,
but has worked great, never had the problem again.

Was the plastic stay-bolt glued in-place ?
