Climate Control LED Bleed

The LED bleed coming in from the left side of the display.
I'm getting a spot of LED light on my climate control display in a place there should be no light. Looks like it's bleeding from the left side where there normally are no numbers or icons. This is new but all the controls and temp. display seem to be fine. Is there a fix or replacement for the display, or "watch and wait?" TY! /X3

There are kits you can buy. Easy fix.

Anyone notice how that particular failure mimics the AUTO button circumference? I pushed my auto button firmly one time and got that half moon immediately.
There a couple of folks selling kits. Some are generic replacements with slightly different fonts or spelling. They all work fine.

Yeah...as everyone says, this is an easy fix....just buy akit for about $60 bucks and follow instructions. Takes about 15 minutes, and that was my first time doing it.

I recommend the one from 914Rubber instead of the module master unit. The module master works, but doesn't look the same as the OEM part
