On my door, the 'lock' button that keeps the pass side from working will not stay on. It come off like on Monday! I looked on my carport and did not find it. I was pretty sure I had lost it. I looked under my seat and there it was though. I stuck it on, good I thought. I guess not because it came off into my lap earlier today. Do any of you know a trick I can do? I guess I could just super-glue it! I doubt I will ever take them off! Let me know if there is a rick to it, please. Thanks!!

Yeah, it just snaps on. It still looks to be in good shape! I never once thought of duck tape. I am still thinking of super glue though.

You know, all you gotta do is pop off that part of the door panel(clip in the back, and clip in the top close to the side view mirror) then take a phillips and unscrew it from the underside, and disconnect the plug, and you can hold it in your hand to make sure you don't get glue where ti doesn't need to be, or just buy a whole new switch panel thingy-ma-bob

Yeah, here's what my buddy told me. Let my car warm up, then put on a small dab of the super glue. Just press it good enough to get it to really stick. Keep it warming up for longer! He thinks my 'attach it to thing' looks still good! I may be missing that inside metal thing. I know what he's talking about, I just can describe it while typing. It was gone off of 1 of his A/C knobs. It allows it to grab on and not fall off. I hope that made sense now. See ya!!

Oh, he says the glue works better when it's warm. It's freezing here, right now! I kind of forgot to type that didn't I?

I think that back and forth was to me. Sorry, I have a big bowl of scrambled eggs where my brain is supposed to be! You ought to have gone through my thought process while typing that! I have a TBI, so ADD, OCD, whatever letters you want to give me.

Oh yeah, it was a lot warmer today! I stuck it on there, I hope! I guess I'll know if I lose it again. I'll totally forget I had this prob, I hope! See ya!!

It's still on there today, 1/28! I guess I got it fixed.
