need BMW radio volume knob

[tennisjazz]

The inside of the volume/on/off knob for the OEM BMW radio is stripped . My car is a 328ic but this radio is no doubt common to most E36 and maybe other series too. The dealer won't sell me a knob, only the entire radio. No luck with car audio shops or audio stores either . Haven't tried wreckers yet.
Any suggestions?

if u can find the sizing, maybe u can find an aftermarket knob?

The dealer cannot get the knob seperately, he has to buy an entire radio, Try a wrecking yard maybe?

(I'm assuming you haven't lost or thrown out the stripped knob)

You know how gears on machines are installed? With keystock. Notch the inside of the knob, notch the volume control shaft, and slide a piece of a thick paper clip or something.

Or, use crazy glue. Any reason why that wouldn't work?

buy a replacement radio off ebay. Got one for my car many moons ago (my light was burnt out). Less than $50 shipped; just keep your eyes peeled.

No luck with wreckers either.
But finally got one ... at a dealer, Don Mackey BMW in Tucson.
Had to order part # 82-11-1-470-091 ... cost me $14.85 + $1.20 tax.
