Climate Control Buttons

[GTST R33]

A while ago my auto button on my climate control broke & was sitting on a 45 deg angle

I didn't worry about it until it happend to the off switch causing the fan to be permanently "on"

I was going to buy a second hand one.. but i know the same problem would occur eventually

So i looked for a solution, the problem was with the design the flimsy plastic arm that hold the buttons

i came up with a simple but effective solution to eliminate the plastic arms altogether

I started with a rubber gromit and then cut out the inside of it, leaving a cresent moon shape

i cut away enough for the backing light to shine through, then trimmed about a third off the bottom

of the gromit this allowed the button to sit in its usual place (make sure the plastic pin on the back of the

button lines up with the white pin on the control unit itself) Then simply replace the cover and the buttons

will be held firmly in place by the cover itself. The rubber allows the buttons to be pushed firmly without

worring about breaking!!!

Both buttons are now fixed...the whole thing took about 20mins and cost me nothing
