the "toilet paper holder" is broken....or the back of the knob itself is. Or both. It's not a difficult fix, it's just a matter of getting to it. http://www.eeuroparts.com/productdetail.aspx?searchResults=1&code=4809 this is a link to the part if it is the one. You'll have to take the glovebox out and than the panel on the side of the center console. After that you should be able to replace it. However it can also be a broken knob rod, so first take the thing apart, see what actually is broken and only than start replacing parts.

unfortunalely to do manual to auto climat control you'll need a whole donor car. It's not cheap or easy.

good luck finding a viggen  It's much easier to clone one nowadays than to get one in decent condition. What are your plans for the car in general?

I want just as you said clone my 9-3 into something close to viggen ,but that is the plans for the future first i want to make my car mechanically perfect then i'll fix the body especialy front(needs new bumper cover and all lights).I wish i had a garage ,i could probably do most of the repairs myself.But now i'm ordering new parts that i will need and when they all come i'll try to do it in my friend's garage.Where do you work on your car?I think it's a little easier in PA.
