This wasn't a bad buy especially since there's not really anywhere else to find this part anymore unless you go to the dealership you could buy it for around $160. I wasn't too worried about how well the part looked in my car just that it functioned correctly. So I installed it based off of what others recommend. 1. Unplugging the battery and 2. Connecting the replacement part. It went smoothly, however, I had my AC indicator blinking the first few times I'd turn on my car, that was resolved on its own. The second issue was the air control seems to randomly reset and it wont direct the air in respect to the image on the dial. For example, I'd set it to defrost but will have to add an extra click past the defrost notch to only have full defrost function. It's better than my situation before and I'm not complaining. Still works and still saved money.
