Anyone know if these can be replaced?

If you can find the part, you can definitely replace it. I've had mine out before when I was chasing a squeak in the dash. Might have to get one from a salvage yard though.

I would think that the entire cluster would need to be changed, is that what you mean?

Did you just break off the knob head or did the stem snap off to the point where you can't extract it? (that sounds a lot dirtier than I intended it to be).

The knobs themselves are just pull-out/push-in replacements that you can buy a lot of places on-line -- mostly in "upgraded aluminum." But you can order them through dealers cheaply as well if you want to OEM.

Sorry to hijack, but where can you find the aluminum upgraded versions online? I saw these I like, but don't know where to get them:

Broke the knob/stem, while pulling a rag through the opening(cleaning).
It can be replaced! Cool! I'll stop by the dealer.
Thanks for the info!
