    Anyone else having this problem? Mine are cracking in half. It used to be just one... but now all of them are cracked right down the middle.... they still function....its just annoying.

    I have the same problem, two of the climate control knobs are cracked in the middle. Where can I get the replacement knobs without buying the whole unit... I've been searching to no answer.

    I had that happen to the knob in my Tundra. The dealer had them for under $10.

    I know there are knobs for Tundra, mine is a Tacoma 2006, the dealer sell the whole climate control unit for around 500, more or less, they don't sell the knobs only. I was asking for an aftermarket place, I did my research, and only the whole unit, with the knobs, is being sold,even in EBAY.

    Do you know if the '06 Tundra control knobs will fit the tacoma? I have a broken therm control knob as well and cant find any replacements without buying an entire unit. Even checked salvage yards.
