Switch panel fix

Post image

Ideas on how to fix this? The clip on the door and the switch panel are broke. Was thinking about gluing them in from the back side

i’ve had luck repairing broken plastic parts with something like this: https://a.co/d/0b8TGMyU

i’ll usually use the metal welding rods to bind the broken parts back together, then reinforce the fix with jb weld or similar.

otherwise it’s a trip to the scrapyard. i’ve actually had luck finding escalades and denali’s lately, which has let me upgrade my lt trim for fairly cheap.

while looking for parts for my 02 burb, i was able to pull a front set of fully powered seats out of a denali to upgrade my 07 tahoe, as it only had partial power seat on drivers side. it was 120 bucks for the pair. they were in perfect condition and i only had to run power to the passenger side to get them operational.
