Centre console dash bottom piece grrrrr
#1
Anyone work out what might be wrong here?

All pieces push in fully and flush but touching a button or putting in an in car charger causes this Sad. Everything's screwed in as it's meant to be.

Lol. The metal clips on the back are moveable, I bet yours have moved so the trims touching the buttons...

lmao

Never seen that before...the dash in my DT was the exact opposite though, took nothing short of a pry bar to remove the bottom section! I don't think Tom is far off the mark though, have you checked the metal clips?

I was wondering if moving the clock section about might help.

I've only checked that they're all intact. In what way are they supposed to move?

I've thought about it but it's the hassle when I want to take it off again.

Hmm, your metal clips do look in the right place in that pic. Not sure what to suggest... Well, maybe just don't use the buttons, can't remember last time I used the demister lol!

Hmm I may have to play about see what I can get to work! I'll see if I can borrow a piece from a friend see if it's the plastic piece or the dash holes...

Just strip the console down and refit it.
Its not that much work and youll find the problem.
