    The cap is held on with tabs. My guess is something is hooking them and pulling them off.

    We are working to add technology to reproduce these types of parts but the harsh reality is it's not an inexpensive venture and most people probably won't want to pay for what it takes. For something like this, we probably won't sell the part unless the customer hires us to do the refinishing. So, for us it's about value added services to our customers.

    Dave,

    Please PM me when you’re team have these caps made. I have an FF that I lost both the HVAC and pit speed caps just this week alone.

    Mark at Sphere Motorsports will have the car next week and we were going to disassemble the interior to send off to y’all for refinishing. Would be great if you can do this as well.

    Called FofH and was quoted over 6k for the HVAC and VDA assembly .

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Give me a call 716-553-6130 and I can discuss some options with you. We do have a way to reproduce these.

    We have received a 458 HVAC assembly in for refinishing which is shipping back to the customer today. However, before we pack it up, we will 3D model the dial cap and start to reproduce these. We should have them in stock within 4-8 weeks. :)

    If you still have the cover, maybe you can try some transfer tape. It's very thin and very strong. It's worth a shot.

    How about taking one of the other caps off and 3D printing a copy or three?

    Call Dave at StickyRX. Though, you may have to send the part for refinishing. Great Job they did with my HVAC/ VDA/ lighting knob. Would recommend them anytime.

    Sorry to have to bump this but I have 2 of those darn buttons that just recently fell out for the AC Control Unit. Did anyone have any luck finding this?

    I will need to get 2. Also why was Dave Rocks banned? Is he the owner of www.**********.com? I thought they found a way to produce this without replacing the whole HVAC system. Please PM me if anyone has or can get a hold of 2 of these and let me know how much for costs including shipping. Thanks.

    Wanted to say I received it and just put them in yesterday. They come in packs of 3. They were easy to put on and look exactly like the Ferrari caps. I love it. I'll show pictures of the AC caps in place when I get a chance. Really appreciate the quick delivery!

    Here is the HVAC with the two caps put on. If you can't tell (which I don't think you can), the two buttons missing the caps are the center and right. That means the job is excellent. Thanks again Dave!
