Are the headrest buttons on the seat adjustments just notorious for breaking off? The '05 that I bought several months back was missing the passenger's side one and it seems that when searching for replacement switch sets, several of them are missing it as well.

Is there a good source for used seat adjustment switches? I looked on eBay and that's where I noticed several broken-off ones.

you have to replace the whole control switch

I don't adjust mine that frequently but I still have all original ones on my car and they are still going strong with 182K miles.

Exactly what Shardul said. You have to buy the whole piece. Same thing when I bought mine. The passenger one was broken off. It bothered the crap out of me for 2 years, so I finally bought one... and it sat in a box for another year, cuz I didn't want to pull the door panel unless I had to. Well, I gave up waiting on that, and finally did it. Took about 20 minutes. Can't believe I waited so long to do it.

Funny, I just fixed mine this week also. I think its an ocd thing, because I NEVER use it.

I really don't want to pull the door panel either. But I think what I'll do when it finally bugs me enough is just buy a complete switch kit, the literally BREAK OFF the headrest button from the new part.....and superglue it to the broken one on my door! If you look closely, the button is hollow in the middle so you could insert a small ~1/16" round metal rod in there as a reinforcement before gluing the new button in place.

I'll bet it ends up stronger than the original design if you put the metal rod in there!!!!
