    Has anyone found a stickum that would hold the heater/AC control bezel in place and allow it to be pryed off without damage?

    Mine just came loose and all the pins are gone.

    I'm thinking a dab of non-hardening Permatex in each corner might do it.

    Any ideas?

    OK, thanks. Will use double-sided tape if the RTV doesn't hold. :tiphat:

    Bust open the piggy bank and buy a nice shiny new one.(y) I thought mine looked good till I got the NOS part. One of the better investments made on the car. I see it everytime I'm in the car.

    It looks good. It was (tediously) masked and painted along with the dash. Perfect match. :thumbs2: Just need it to stay in place. :)

    And, I already bought one from Craig. Had to replace the original after I sat on it. :cry:
