Default Replacing the rear audio buttons...

I would like to replace the rear audio and HVAC buttons due to wear and tear. (Never had a vehicle that the front or rear audio buttons flake like Chevrolet. Hope that engineering team was fired.) Anyone have a source and instructions on how to do that? I've found a couple of sources for replacing the audio buttons for the front stereo on eBay, but nothing for the rear controls.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Check GM parts direct, looks like they have it listed, you will most likely need to purchase it as the whole unit and not the individual parts...

Thanks for the information. Found the website and information from your screenshot. For $133.18, how do I determine what parts I'm getting?

Also, how do I remove the front panel to access the buttons that I want to replace?

Thank you.

How do you find stuff there w/o a P/N? Their search says P/N only.

gm parts direct -> click the catalog tab -> click the accept terms -> select Make Model year -> type in radio in keyword or description box -> click on view illustration -> Select pictorial item... adding it to cart will SOMETIMES give you a part number but not always
I would strongly recommend providing your VIN when ordering parts

Thanks. After I went thru that, I realized I'd been there before and just forgot how to do it. Damn CRS.
