    Are the temperature/fan control lenses available, and where? The lettering is nearly gone on mine.

    No source that I know of.

    Those plastic heater control panels are often broken, so you may be able to find a broken donor for with some good lenses.

    Only problem with that is they're actually backlit and partially transparent. If you had an opaque vinyl sticker you would lose the backlighting and wouldn't be able to see them at night.

    Is that bezel plastic or fiberglass? I can't remember - it's been too long since I looked at mine.

    It's plastic. They get brittle with age and break.

    I see. I think mine's cracked, too.

    Wonder how much it would cost to have these custom molded?
