Some help please, does your center console do this?
I just got my car back from the dealer and they had to open the dash up for some things.
Anyway I got into the car and had to hit the rear defroster. When I did this, the whole climatronic thing moved into the dash a bit and then moved back out after I released pressure.
They took it back in and said "We fixed it so it doesn't move as much, but it still moves a little"
So now when I press in the right edge of the climatronic it still moves in a bit and it bugs me.
Is this normal?
TIA!

I'll chalk it up to "Used to happen before but never noticed it"
Thanks,

i hate that....when your car is in the shop, so you just can't drive it. when i got my first service done and a little knick in my paint fixed from some *** who scratched my car in a parking lot and i couldn't drive it for a day and a half, i was driving a mercury grand marquis 
just know i was running back to my car when it was ready haha.

when my car was in the body shop after that b***h hit me, i would go down everyday after work to check the progress. now its in for a mod, which i most likely will go and see how its coming along after work.

my clima-knobby moved a little too. my climatronic doesnt move alot, but it moves, a little. its not solid in there, i mean push yours (knobby or tronic, i dont care) it moves a little. "i mean a little". they are only held in by four plastic clips. it doesnt move when i hit buttons but if i touch the corners or the edges it moves, very little. movement is movement, and my clima-knobby moved just as little as my new one!
and whether it factory or not, its still a W203 part (regardless of coupe or sedan), which fits just as good as factory.
