[s-cars] Sunroof switch cover-repair

[brian hoeft]

Thanks Paul, that seems to be good for this task.

Funny, like bb, my panel dropped yesterday as well and got me surly going
down a very bumpy PA road.

Apparently I repaired 1 clip years ago with gorilla glue(dont remember
that). That clip was the one that remains adhered to the panel. The factory
plastic is what broke yesterday.

I was going to go the gorilla glue route again, but will take that
suggestion and try something that looks more application specific.

thanks, Brian
