Default HVAC Temp & Fan Switches--> Amazon $35.99

All,

I've purchased 3 pair of ClimaRepair Temp/Fan Switches over the past 6 years and always happy w/quality and fast shipping from Europe.
Decided to buy a pair off Amazon for $35.99
W/my Prime membership got them free shipping next day and they are excellent quality.

I ordered some... Just use "Porsche HVAC switch" in the Amazon search bar. Then choose the 997.1 variety. The vendor is TX Racing Pcar auto.

I got these off Amazon - perfect fit and fitment. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 back when they were $30

How do the fonts and icons look compared to stock? From the pics they appears a bit "off brand"

And after you do this...and you're feeling adventurous, do what I did and paint all the bezels in the stack area matte black. Took awhile but damn it updates the car tremendously!

Must be the photo because they look just like the OEM & ClimaRepair switches

Climarepair on mine are defective so will consider these. Contacted Climarepair twice, directly after instructed to do so. No rely after 3 months. Appears they are not serious about their quality control.

I used climarepairs installation. Need a TORX Set including a t6. I use toothpicks to hold the tabs apart. Then slide them out.

Not hard at all.

There are quite a few youtube videos on this. It's not difficult but it is tedious. toothpicks are a good idea, I used two flathead jewelers screwdrivers
