2007 AC Knob Different?

[2007gt]

I just got off the phone with MGW about their billet AC knobs. The web site says they won't work on an 2007. I asked why and was told the factory knobs can no longer be simply pulled off. I gave mine a really good tug and they didn't budge. WTF? I wanted to start brightening up my interior and have been stopped in my tracks with my first mod. Anybody have any experience/advise????

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Just hafta wait till sombody makes some covers for the 07 cars.

I am in the same boat as you, 07 has different heater controls then the 05-06 cars.

I have a question for you guys with 07's.
When you put your heater controls to the FLOOR position.
Do you get any air coming out of the defrost vents on the dashboard?
I'm no talking about a minor leak but 30-40% of the air which was supposed to be going to the floor.

Thanks

I know my '05 does that.

I know my '05 does that.

So does my '06

Yeh, My '07 has a substantial amount of air coming out of the defroster vents also.

I have a '03 Mustang GT with a similar problem and I know guys with Mustangs a few years older than mine with the same problem. If the heat is set on floor mode, all of a sudden it will start blowing out the defrost vent and after a while it will return to the floor mode. Ford uses a vacuum canister under the dash for a vacuum reserve and I would assume that it is used in the new Mustang models also. I guess sometimes a load on the engine will deplete the reserve vacuum allowing the vacuum heater/defrost controls to loose vacuum. The controls may be very sensitive to vacuum changes. Probably a larger reserve canister is needed. Just goes to show you how uninterested Ford is in fixing certain problems, just keep passing it on to the next model year.

Have you guys considered if billet is required, why not swap HVAC panels from a 2005 or 2006 into your 2007?
