You know those two little adjusters on the dash that adjust the clock and the dimmer in the gauges?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You know those two little adjusters on the dash that adjust the clock and the dimmer in the gauges? The dimmer on mine broke. I tried super gluing it and it was ok for a little while, but it came off again. Super glue is terrible. Do I have to pull the entire dash pod out to get to it? If so, that seems like more trouble than it's worth.

POST 2Original post

Is it just the ****? If so, you can get those from the dealer for about $20.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, it's just the ****. The question is, how do you install it?

POST 4Original post

Just pull it straight out to remove it, and push the new one on. It requires a little bit of force, but you're not going to break anything.

POST 5Original post

Did the stalk in pushes onto break off? If so (as mine did) I purchased a new set on eBay and drilled it out a bit and pushed it back onto what was left of the stalk.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't know, I have to check. I guess that's a good idea if I broke off the stem.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The stem broke right at the dash pod. I'll need to replace the entire stem. Has anyone done that or (as I suspect) I need to leave it alone as its probably more work than benefit. I just hate anything wrong. It's the little things that drive me crazy.

POST 8Original post

Mime did the same thing, broke at almost flush with plastic lens, as I stated above, get a new one and drill it out a bit further and slid it over what remains of the stalk as the stalk goes in a ways. Worked for me.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds like a plan. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

POST 10Original post

Also, there is a guy in bc (iirc) that reproduces just the stalk part. Abt $45 or so shipped. I think his name is brian, search on here and you can probably find him. If you cant find info, i might be able to dig up contact info.
