how do you remove the A/C control panel
my wife was driving it the other day and put a large heavy box in between the front drivers and passenger seats, well she hit the brakes it slide forward into the Blower speed ***** and the blower selection *****, and pushed them into the plastic panel
the blower speed **** works fine, a little stiffer then normal, and not much to hold onto
the blower selection **** works, but kind of free spins all the way around, so you have to play with it a bit to get the selection you want,
I want to pull the plastic cover off and see if I can pull the ***** out anymore, and also to see if there is anything broken, and if so, then I know what to look for,
I can see to screws at the bottom of the panel but it feels like there are a few more that hold it on,

p.s will add some pic's when I find my camera

got it fixed,
removed the unit, held onto the panel by 5 t10 screws (I think it was 10, I know the t15 was too big, and the one that fit did not have any numbers on it)
then you pull of the buttons, ***** and temp slide tabs, then you remove 4 more t10 screws from the back, and pulled it apart, everything looked ok,
the one bracket for the mounting screw was broken, but still held ok, and a small crack in the face of the panel
then I noticed on the metal rods that the blower ***** mounted to, that the 2 broken/damaged ones had small little metal pieces on them and the one that works/fine did not, I then looked in to the ***** and the one that is working, has the metal piece in it, I figure it must be a type of shim, I used some pliers and pulled them off, and put them back in the *****, and now they work fine
will add pic's of the metal shim latter

sorry about the poor, poor poor, quality, had a B-day party for my daughter this past weekend, and now can't find my camera, I used the kids play school camera
And once that was pulled off the bottom of the metal rod that the **** sits on, and placed back in the top of the ****, all works
