Default '93 Accord: Heating-A/C dial broken

My dial for the temp. broke and pops out when I drive over a rough surface and the fan speed one is relatively easy to pull off its socket.

I called the nearest junk part place and was told I can't buy the dial individually from them rather I have to purchase the entire piece and that's the norm no matter where I look. This sounds kind of whack because it makes no sense to buy the entire heat set with buttons and dials and so forth and then install it -- does anyone know if this is bs and I can indeed grab just the dials from some place? Thanks..

Just get a new one from your dealer or http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
if you get a used one you risk it breaking again

WOW such a great advice,,,,,,,,,How would you like if someone visited your house and put something in their pocket and walked off with it..

DO NOT do to others what you do not want done unto you..

Yo sohail when you mean dial do you mean the **** ?? if so ,they are 5-6 dollars at the dealer

No problem at all. Just trying to help out.
Be sure you pull off the old metal ring before you try to put the new **** on (unless it remained in the broken ****)

Right, you apparently have to pull the dash to fix that one (I've had that problem for a while but am to lazy to do it, even though my heat **** won't go all the way to the right... winters are mild here).

Your not having that one too are you?

me? the whole button thing was replaced but it didnt fix it so im thinking it deff is the cable in the back for me, both ***** didnt work but the blower one started to after the replacement so that just lead me to think the heat has the cable behind it so its gotta be that. i just hope this guy doesnt have to go through all that

My heat **** does this thing where if i put it all the way on the red side, it just slides back halfway automatically and won't stay. I was told in the past you had to pull the dash to replace it, thats what i thought you were talking about, but they sound like similar problems regardless.
