Swapping or Repairing Second Row Climate Control Panel
My second row panel pushes in a half inch or so. Dealer tried to snap into place and said the brackets are broken and I need a whole new part. $450 total to get the thing back to normal.
Is this thing easy to access and replace? Seeing used ones on ebay for $200 or so. Or I may just rig it back into place with glue or something. Pic for reference below: |

looks pretty simple to get out, i would get a set of nylon trim pry tools.
for 400 bucks, i would try hot melt glue to secure the panel into place at the spots where the clips were.

I changed this exact part out on my Q7. It took less than 5 mins....and I am NOT handy. Buy it second hand from a place that does returns and don't look back.

Had to swap middle, lower circular trim piece around radar and lower drivers side grill from a rock hit and it was $1200! I would have said pound sand but they installed all my IND reflectors free of charge so I went for it. |
