Well, yes, things are getting a bit worn and the know slips around on
the post. Fortuantely, twisting it CCW does move it through the
various positions.
The knob can also be easily pulled off of the post (did that once and
found the brass bushing).
Sounds like the post (white soft plastic) may be getting worn so
getting a new know may not be the solution.
I can't find my shop manual so this is the best place to ask the
probably dumb question: Can the post be removed (i.e., it's hold on
with screws to the actual rod that controls all of the vents' flaps)
or is this a major undertaking (remvoe the dash and all that)?
Alternatively, should I just buy a new knob and bushing? Should I add
a brass shim to the post to ensure that everything locks up for
rotation.
Really stupid fix is obvious -- put goop on the post and glue the knob
on permanently......
