Driver's switch panel rear mount on BBT has been broken for god knows how long. Since its back on the road, Im doing long overdue maintenance. For the heck of it, I searched for ways to fix that switch panel, and up pops this:

So I buy the little 3d bits from the Amazon link under that youtube video, and I'll be damned, the things actually worked. Pretty f-ing cool.

They make the whole bracket as well. My arm rest is broken, but the switch panel is hanging on still lol.

FYI, on my 05, the bezel's front screw hole broke off when I tried to remove the screw. I used super glue to hold it in place and then an epoxy around it to make it more permanent.

I used some tape to make a dam to build up the epoxy. I wish I took a picture of it. It's much stronger.
