theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I recently broke a slider/selector in my Toyota hiace and cannot find a parts name or number to order or buy a new one, and can't make it to the Toyota parts shop for a week or two cos of work grrrr basically here's a picture off the net. it's the top left slidey bar that selects air to your face/feet/demist Sorry this isn't plant related etc it's just been a real hassle driving and trying to Defog the thing lol any help would be appreciated.. It seems easy enough to take the dash off and replace this once I know what it's called! (Been searching for 6days now lol!)

ThunderIdeal Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Vent selector. Arent they metal behind the plastic how did it break? Push button is way better. Those will be attached to vacuum hoses I think, like to detach themselves, pain in the butt they are Edited June 22, 2016 by ThunderIdeal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Hey thunder, it seems all plastic up to the very back of the switch. Unfortunately they still dunno what it's called over the phone. Gonna need to wait til I'm off nights and can get down and they can have the car for an hour. I'm just using a stick to slide it in the meanwhile... First world probs lol sorry to waste the bandwidth hoped it would be easy but nothin with cars are are they lol Edited June 23, 2016 by theuserformallyknownasd00d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strontium Dawg Posted June 23, 2016 Try toyodiy.com It can be tricky to find a part number for cars from the caps diagrams, which is why most repairers employ a parts interpreter. Sometimes you can't just order a part alone, you might have to order an entire assembly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
