Default 2014 ML Audio - Volume **** pushed in

Hi Guys,

This sounds weird but has anyone ever had their volume **** be permanently pushed in? I noticed this some time ago. I wonder if one of my kids played with the car when the power was off and it got pushed in way more than it should be.

It seems a lot harder to grab and turn it. It functions the same except it has less to grab on to and is noticeably more sunk in than the tuning ****.

I want to know if I pull on it with a pliers or some sort of clamp if it will return to normal or will I end up with a volume **** in my hand and a costly and dumb repair. Again it works. It just frustrates me.

I would pull on it with fingers and maybe a piece of rubber like they use to open jars. Not sure I'd resort to pliers though.

Agreed fingers should detach the **** I can’t see how it’s attached any other way
