Does anyone know how to get a replacement

I'm redoing my heater controls and need the new acrylic lense. Any help would be appreciated. Name:  IMG_0607.jpg

I don't think they are reproduced. I got a control off of evil bay needing levers cheap for mine that had a nice lense in it.

Don't you have to drill out a few rivets and completely disassemble it to get the lens out, I need a nicer one too.

I did do that to refurbish and paint controls so I will have to reassemble it. I can't remember if you have to just for the lense. Your truck is very nice by the way. Thanks

Re: Does anyone know how to get a replacement

I took mine apart and polished both sides. And you could repaint the parts that are faded.

It is riveted in. I left the main part of the rivet in place just drilled the head enough to get it loose. I JB welded it back. Not the best solution but no one will ever see mine.
