    Nice! Was about to order metal knurled, but wanted to keep the back light. Great find!

    I installed a set today.
    My radio is slightly recessed into the bezel.
    When the new knobs are installed the right one sticks a bit when pressed in.
    It rubs on the external bezel of the radio.
    Anyone else experience this?

    Have not experienced this, but maybe put a couple of washers behind the radio mounting bolts to move it outward. Or switch the knobs to see if that makes any difference.

    Just did this mod and worked like a champ. Literally took 3 min including pulling the plastic center out of the new knobs. Both buttons push in for their original functionality without a problem. Thanks to the OP for this great suggestion. The OEM knobs were making me crazy, and this allowed me to keep the back lighting. Glad I saw this thread before I ordered the Hondo knobs!

    Well, I stopped at Lowes today and picked up some nylon washers.
    They are about 1.8mm thick.
    They worked perfectly and the knobs now work great.

    If anyone in the Portland/Vancouver area needs a set of these knobs I’ll sell you mine. I sold my Tacoma, but kept the RAV4 knobs. PM me if interested.

    Great job with the washers. :thumbsup:

    Hi- my right knob kinda jams slightly. It’s rubbing against the radio bezel/ vent shroud. Get in the passenger seat and pull this part towards the passenger side 1 mm. I did and now my knob just misses the edge. Also never remove this bezel without first taking off the knobs, as it could scuff them. 26BEF707-9B6D-4587-B67D-3F9B3909F11B.jpg

    Forgot about grabbing these, saw this thread a while ago. Ordered a set from my dealer for $24.85, can't wait to get rid of those useless oem knobs.

    Got my knobs today and replaced the old ones in less than a minute. It's amazing how such a small modification makes such a huge difference. Thanks OP!

    Thanks for the info and detail OP! Been lurking here for a few months and owe thanks to many, but those factory knobs were truly a great annoyance and this easy upgrade fixed one of the items I really came to despise.
