Default 5th Gen Temperature ***** Loose/Broken?

Well to be specific my hot/cold temperature **** is loose now. I cant seem to find out what happened. When I try to turn the **** know i feel there is no resistance and there is nothing turning except the **** except. Usually I would feel that I would be turning something sort of rough but now theres no resistance. Could it just be that the **** fell out of its joint or something? I hope I dont have to replace this whole set. What might be wrong?

Its just the ****. If you pull it out, you'll most likely see whats wrong.

Not too expensive to replace either.

Found out it was the plastic covering the metal piece snapped somehow. I will stop by Honda this week to buy one. I need to defroster for my car or else I'm blind =[ Especially in the winter time

You can get them here for $7

Of course with shipping it'll be more so you're probably better off going to Honda.

-pull the **** out
-put some super glue on the broken tip
-put a strip tie around the tip to prevent the **** from breaking again and also to reinforce it (use a pair of pliers to pull the strip tie to make it tight)
