Need any help for seat heater switch

[nwcoast]

I ordered the part off of eBay. I don’t wanna mess up any of the crawl control plastic though trying to pop it out to put the new switch in.
Anybody have any advice on getting the crawl control out so I can get the new seat heater switch in?
Is it pretty easy to pop out with a credit card?

I would use actual plastic pry tools...or whatever they are made from. Get the non-marring tools from Amazon for a few bucks. The panel was surprisingly easy to pop out with the plastic tool and didn't do any damage.

I can't seem to find the inexpensive replacement switch just to pull the knobs... Asking more than oem switch:

So I stole two Lego heads from my kids, shoved some Play-Doh up there necks and voila new heater knobs.

Quote from dealer was over 300 (380+?) for this, just ordered from the Ebay seller and will let folks know how it goes. I plan to pull the knobs and not go to the trouble of R&Ring the full switch. If that fails I'm going Lego heads too - great idea

Ebay switch for the win. Really easy to just pull the knobs off the new switch and install on the existing switch. Cakewalk. Done and done and stashed the new switch in the parts bin.

Ordered mine from eBay. ~$40 from China and took about 3 weeks. I did the shortcut described earlier. IE just popped out the heater and crawl control, disconnected the wire harness and used the old harness with the new switch. Works perfect and about a 10 minute fix.
