Default Console Switch Housings

The plastic tabs that secure the anodized clips for the centre console switches (pictured below) have broken off - they are remarkably flimsy!

To fix the issue, you have to buy the complete OEM switches that list for about $USD350 each!!!!

Ouch!

My question is, I have seen carbon fibre replicas but these are just as expensive. Can someone please let me know where I can buy plain plastic units at a reasonable price?

Me too. Hoping someone with a 3d printer can do something.

I gathered up all the broken pieces and used epoxy to reinstall the clips. It's held up fine for over a year now.

I've had two of these break over the years too - the clips are hopeless really. might be a good candidate for a 3d printer fix but perhaps only an addition on the reverse so its not visible as the quality of 3d print is not yet up to "visible" quality IMHO

Default Console Switches

I simply fitted mine and then used two black headed self tapping screws the fix them to the housing.
It probably not the prettiest way of doing it but I tried plastic welding the tabs ( didn't work) and I would not pay the price for a new assembly. Mine has been in place now for about 3 years.
Cheap alternative to buying a new assembly.
