My temperature knob collapsed into the dash board. I was able to pull it partially out, but I had to wedge it with a dime to hold it in place. I cannot figure out how to pop off the molding to get in and see what’s going on. Anypne have a clue? Thanks, Tony

IIRC, your vehicle has a 3 yr/36k mile Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty.  
As a result, if you have not exceeded 36,000 miles and/or if it has been less than 36 months since the car was sold to you, whatever repairs are needed to your heater controls will be covered, gratis.

How many miles do you have on your Rav?
