Radio and climate dash trim bezel

[colinnwn]

I took my radio and climate dash trim bezel off to install my electric brake controller display and manual activation lever. Getting the whole thing installed is a project that will never end.

 

When I unscrewed the screws at top, the plastic ears broke off above the mid-point of the circle. I superglued the plastic back together to have a flat foundation, but I knew that would not be strong enough to last. So I used JB Weld to glue 2 metal washers to the plastic to reinforce it. It seems to have worked well.

 

Just a warning if you take it apart, be ready for the plastic bits to fall off so you can find them.

 

The 2nd pic shows how I installed the manual activation lever through one of the switch knock out panels.
