There are.two tabs on the back of this part by the mirror. Has anyone broken one off? Is there a doable repair or suitable fix for it? The photo is not the actual one, but it is the same piece. Any thoughts/help would be most appreciated.
When this has happened on my Audi S6 sunroof switch cover, I simply took thin sheet metal, cut it to size, bent it in a vise and epoxied it to the cover.
That looks like what needs to happen here. I just need to fab up one that is hooked rather than going into a slot, and about half the size. That is a better idea than I had. I was thinking about just the small tab that broke, not the goal of hooking into the plastic part in the ceiling mount.
Look at this little flimsy tab. I actually expected just a little heavier tab there since it holds the sunroof crank and hole where you manually close the roof if it won't close.
Ok, so the fix was cheap, ugly on the inside, but seem strong as hell and looks like new on the outside. I took two washers and bent them at 90 degree angles and then used a clear gorilla glue gel (copious amounts reinforced with wire as the paper was used in the above video). I let it cure for about three days, popped it in and it was perfect.
