HELP! My car is running perfect!

I've gotten pretty much all the bugs worked out of my car. Especially on the highway, I have never in my life owned a car that I've LOOKED FORWARD to driving so much, as this car. Smooth as silk.

There is, however, a fan button that popped off, I have to figure out how to get that back on. Photo attached. I'm guessing that something is wrong on one end or the other, either the shaft coming out or something missing on the button itself. I previously tried to glue the 2 together, but that's risky, as glue might drip down onto the electronics or something. What do you recommend?

Overtighten

Since your car is running perfectly...why not overtighten something and strip the threads? Then you can come back to the forum and have something to do.

Everything looks normal. No glue just a firm push, that worked for me.

That's what I usually do, if it isn't broken I play with it until it breaks.

Mine pop out but when I push the off button the one that was pushed in pops out and lands in the ashtray.

I think a small dab of model glue will do

Of course not. It's tempting the M-B gods.

Just call mercedes and they will probably buy it from you. Great unusual addition to their collection. I have never heard of one before. Fix the button first though.
