A Mod In Need Of Help!

[Luke]

Hi guys and dolls, I have a little issue.... On the centre console there are 2 'soft close flaps' which then excess a compartment, the lower one which has the !Removed! lighter in is broken... The soft close/open doesnt work and this piece in the pic is loose! Does anyone know how to fix it?

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Total replacement I'm afraid!!

[Luke]

Really? Nothing has snapped just came off

[andy-mcq]

check for any springs that have come off

[G4VHD]

Beat me to it, the springs are in the form of metal plates...like in the pic, they should slide back in place..

[Luke]

Yeh but not sure what way round that plastic thing goes lol

[G4VHD]

Forget the plastic thing, whats that on top of your gear stick?

[Luke]

What the gear #####?

[Luke]

Why is it censering k n o b

[G4VHD]

[G4VHD]

[Luke]

K n o b it keeps censoring it for some reason

[andy-mcq]

[G4VHD]

Why don't you just say knob?

[Luke]

I do but it alway censors it out look, #####

[G4VHD]

:D

[Luke]

So does no one no how to fix this? I can't work out how it does lol

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Sorry luke... But if there is a broken lug then the spring won't work... You could try super-glueing something there...

Easier to just replace it !

[Luke]
