Broken seat heater button
I was turning off my heated seats yesterday and as I went to push the button back into its spot it just kept going. Now it's like half an inch or so down the tube, with no sign of coming back anytime soon. Has this happened to anyone before? It's gettng cold and I want to keep my butt warm, plus it just looks bad and I don't want a broken car. Any ideas on what would need to be done to fix it and what it might cost me?

If the clip isn't broken it should pop right back in.
If not you might have to figure out a way to get it to stick in there.
Do not take it to a dealer, you won't walk out the door for less than $250. They will charge you for a new switch if it's just a busted clip.
