Are HVAC Control buttons removable/replaceable?

[redone17]

Anyone have experience popping off any of the HVAC control buttons for replacement? I’m sure this style of button has been used for years - I know they are common across F-Series, Ranger, etc.

F-150 HVAC Controls are $90 shipped vs $400+ for the Bronco version. I’m trying to get my rear defrost working since I was pre-prep kit soft top from factory. That’s the only visible difference. It’s minimal and I can live with it….but that little bronco is just so cute. Haha.

It seems like it should just pop straight out - but, I don’t want to break it if it’s more difficult than that. The top section separated easily - but, the bottom wouldn’t give. I saw something for another make that stuck a small screw driver under and there is a clip that needs to be pressed to release. Any input is appreciated.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say most likely not. Unfortunately manufacturers lately have been getting picky on making hard parts vehicle specific. Maintenance parts on the other hand not so much as it helps the manufacturer keep cost down and helps.us want to keep maintaining the vehicles.

I figured that was the case. If it works as expected, I’ll live with it until Bronco part prices go down.

Don't hold your breath on that. You will suffocate and die ?
