Change control panel heating

Hello together! Has anyone ever had to replace the control panel of the heater? Do I really have to expand the dashboard or is there a simpler way? My problem is that the left turn switch has gone away and can no longer be regulated. I have been able to move the Bowden train so far after the radio has been expanded that the heating is no longer heated (to be recommended in summer), but for the unfortunately approaching winter a working heating is not to be despised. H at by chance someone else left a control panel? Thank you, Markus
