Default Center console switch covers

Both of my center console switch covers are falling....It seems the brackets are broken. (see picture below)
I checked the price and found upper on is around $50, while lower is more than $210! Maybe both spoiler and PDAS switches are included?
They are currently been attached using some black sticky stuff from previous owner. Very sticky and a bit annoying as they leak from the side of covers. Anybody here has DIY experience to fix these covers? Just don't like to spend $200+ for a plastic cover.

Thanks!

Patrick, I had a similar problem, and cured it by using two miniture 'torx' headed screws on the lower panel, it works and gives an 'almost' factory finish. hope this helps. Cheers. Raymond

Had the same problem. I bit the bullet and bought new ones from Sunset Porsche in CA. Less than $210 but still too much money.

Raymond,

Where did you put the screw in? Do you need to drill the panel or center console? Thanks!

On the lower of the two panels, bottom left and right. I used a small drill bit in the console to make pilot holes. The screws were only about 10mm long, as I recall they came from on obsolete piece of electrical equipment. Cheers
