Kluger Grande Sat Nav Head knit knobs Issue

[LindaGol]

Hi All

I have searched through but can't seem to find a thread for this issue - please point me to one if there is one, thanks.

I have a 2008 Kluger Grande and the control knobs have come off the unit - the ones that control the radio volume, on/off, tuning, etc.
Mine is not the only one that had this issue - I test drove a couple of others and they had the same thing as well as seeing others since.

I have taken the car back to the dealer several times and they ordered in new knobs and found that they could not fit them as they don't have the bit inside the knob to attach them to the unit.

They have said that they need to replace the whole head unit because there is no repair or way to attached the new knobs. They said that they will look for the exact same unit for me (which suits me as I'd like to keep it as original as possible).

Anyone have a solution to this other than replacing the unit?

Cheers, LA

It depends if you ever want to remove them again. If not, an epoxy should do the trick.

The thing is, the knobs don't just turn - they also have a centre section that acts as 'push-in' spring type function as well, so expoxy might fix them in place but then they won't move in-and-out.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

My son just removed the left one for me.

Did you ever come up with a solution for this?
