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!
Bill

I'll chalk it up to "Used to happen before but never noticed it"
Thanks,
Bill
PS Do you ever leave the boards and drive your car? j/k

C320 Coupe
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.

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! ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
and whether it factory or not, its still a W203 part (regardless of coupe or sedan), which fits just as good as factory.
