    Dash trim bora

    Hi all,

    I took the trims off around the radio/climate control the other day and I appear to have broken the mounting points for the vertical pieces. Ive had to blu-tac them on for the moment. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so is there any way to fix it without replacing the cage?

    Same problem here. The plastic bits that hold the metal pins break off
    No solution that I know of.

    iv broken the clamps too.
    think it requires gluing or fixing the trim as you have done, or a whole new surround

    The console is angled, so you might face RHD/LHD issues ordering from ECS.
