    I got a GPS system for Christmas and was testing it out on my way home tonight when the suction cup became unstuck and the unit fell off my windshielf breaking off the radio button knob.

    Can anyone help me find a new radio volume button knob? I can't stand how it looks and it's driving me crazy!

    I appreciate any help you can give me.

    The knob actually broke, or it simply fell off or was pushed into its recessed position? If pushed into recessed position, just push it in and it will pop out again.
    If the knob is not broke but simply fell off, push it back onto the shaft, aligning the slot appropriately.
    If it is truely broke, you probably can get a replacement from the parts department.

    The stem is still in tact and it will slide into the shaft but once it's in there with the spring it pops right back out and does not lock in.
