    Sorry Bro - haven't heard of anyone having that issue or even done a mod that required removal.

    I think that workmeister has done more dash removal stuff than most. Maybe PM him (he hasn't been very active lately).

    Is it superglue-able? Just a thought. Figure if it is already broke you can't harm it any more.

    I've never looked at the combination switch on the VX, but those switch assemblies are often held together with metal plates with tabs that can be rebent to hold everything together tighter. You might try taking off the outer cosmetic cover of the steering column to get a better look at the switch itself to see whether it's a metal/plastic tab that's either come loose or failed altogether.

    If it's the metal plate variety, all you'd probably have to do is put the switch back in place so that everything aligns properly (test for correct operation too) and is held tightly in place, then apply pressure to the plate and use a small hammer to rebend the tabs.
