Broke the thingy

I managed to break (crack) the clear plastic housing that covers the HVAC display on my 98 C5. Any ideas on where to find a replacement? I dropped my cell phone and it bounced into it, cracking the plastic. Thanks.

Thanks. I tried Gene and GMpartshouse. I would have to replace the entire unit for $350 bucks. I would rather not do that just to get a new clear plastic cover. Any other suggestions?

maybe you could post a thread in C5 Parts to see if anyone has a trashed unit that the plastic is still good in? Or go to a local hobby store and see if you can find simpilar material to cut your own...

Search on Ebay. There is a guy that repairs them. Maybe he has the plastic piece you are looking for.
