Default A/C Control Buttons

One of the buttons on the A/C control unit got scratched and now the light shines through it. I tried painting it with some black enamel, but it looks crappy.
Is there a source for these buttons ?
Thanks
Bob

Try the repair shops one may have parts from broken controllers.
Fleabay lists a lot of places that repair the climate control units

Extremely easy. Just remove the unit, unplug it, remove the 4 metal screws in back, disassemble, place the button in and reverse the process. 15 minutes max.

Does any one know the hollander interchange number or what other GM vehicles use the same A/c control. I'd like to widen my search parameters.

Maybe you should just go to a local boneyard and look around or jump on Fleabay.
