I have a question about a broken heater control bezel. Has anyone attempted to fix this notorious part without running a screw from the outside to hold it in place. And my other problem I have, it looks like the previous owner had epoxied the knobs on. I'm always appreciative of any advice.
Velcro or double sided tape works well. Sometimes the knobs can be real stubborn. You really have to PULL on them.
I have also heard of someone gluing small magnets on them. Read this thread: http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/heater-control-face-plate.91698/#post-986915
I remember that thread - that magnet deal is cool - I'm going to experiment next summer on a few decent bezels that have broken pins.
Thanks gentlemen , I have some rare earth magnets in the shop that are just the right size. I'm humbled by the vast knowledge and experience that is on this site. Velcro is a good idea also. I will experiment with both. Thanks for your input.
I tried the Velcro. It did hold the bezel on the dash but the bezel will find away to get crooked or bow out at the top or bottom in a matter of minutes. It's like seeing a cooked picture on the wall and everything you do to fix it, it would still be cooked. I do not suggest the Velcro.
