Default Rear Wing Switch Housing Repair

Took a weekend to work on fixing the rear wing switch housing in the center console. The plastic tabs had broken off and it was rattling around loose in the console.

This is the object in question:




I fabbed up some tabs out of aluminum, drilled some holes in them to give the epoxy something to grab hold of and epoxied them in place. You can see the broken black plastic tab circled in the background.




Once those were in place, trimmed all a bit with the Dremel, then I slid the metal clips in place and installed in the car. All holding pretty well thus far.
