       Been there !  Ha !  What a Mickey Mouse affair !  YES, it will just 
pull off.  You need to really pull, that's why they break.  VW wanted to sell 
more heater control levers !  I have been successful in gluing them back 
together.  Drill very small holes and use small nails or straight pins as 
locating/support devices.  Use Loctite brand crazy glue.  They may break 
again if you ever need to pull them off, BUT, will hold up nicely for moving 
the lever to and fro for heater operation.  If your ever by a scrap yard and 
they have Vanagons, collect the heater levers as I do.  Pulling in a 
PERFECTLY straight line with the lever "usually" gets them off in one piece.
Happy Holidays��
