I know this is a wrong place to post this, but I figured it has a better chance on being seen than in the DIY section. I don't even know how to explain this so I'm just gonna show you. How do I make that right corner pop back in the place? I unscrewed all the screws from the bottom but I still wasn't able to take it off. Anybody knows what to do? Please help, it's irritating the living hell out of me.

 

go to the auto parts store and get yourself a putty spreader. look in the paint section. it is the same thing that tint guys use as squeegees. they are usually yellow or black. take it and gently squeeze in the leather under the trim starting fromt he side away from the vent.

 

does that just tuck in and under the dash? If so, try using a flat head screwdriver.. Be careful though, not to scratch/ rip the leather.

 

Well, that's the thing, it doesn't tuck under anything, that's the "door" to navi (idk if it's the same for non navi versions) so it is a separate piece it looks like it got loose from the base, I wanted to take it off and try to like superglue it back or something (ghetto I know, but I don't know what to do)

 

come on... anybody went through the same thing? Any advice?

 

sorry, no help from me, but looking at your picture made me realize how much i hate that cheap looking "SRS Airbag" etching that we have on the dash.

 

Warranty?

 

use contact cement (same stuff used on speaker boxes), either spray or brush on. it will probably be easier with the piece out of the car.

 

Here's what I did to fix the same problem:

1. Autotalk.com has a great writeup on removing the center console to replace the Bose stereo with a double DIN setup. That article contains all of the prerequisite steps to remove the navigation cubby. It was a lifesaver. Here's a link:
   
   autotalk.com center console removal instructions
   
   In short, the following must be dissassembled to remove the cubby (all explained in the previous link):
   
   
   • Door sill trim on both sides
   • Lower kick panels on both sides
   • Lower glove compartment
   • Instrument lower driver panel
   • Center console side panels on both sides
   • Cluster lid finisher
   • Clock
   • Shifter ****
   • Console finisher (shifter cover)
   • Console lid (stereo and HVAC controls)
   • Two thin silver finish trim pieces
   
   
2. Once all that is removed (some parts just need to be loosened), the nagivation cubby will come out. It should be sort of loose at this point. To remove it, you push it firmly toward the passenger side of the car and then pull it back toward you. There are clips along the top rear of the cubby that will pop out of the dash when you pull it towards you. There are additional snap type fittings on the end of the cubby where it butts up against the door. I put a finger behind the plastic end cover and popped a couple loose by applying pressure toward the passenger side door.
3. Once the cubby is out, the door can be taken off by removing four screws from the hinges on the rear of the cubby.
4. To glue the cover, I pulled up the edges and applied spray adhesive to both the foam and plastic cover. Duro All Purpose Spray Adhesive was around $4 or $5 at Walmart.
5. I then mated the two surfaces and securely wrapped a 20 foot 1.5 inch wide tie down strap around the cover to hold them together until the glue dried. Think of the wrapping on a tennis racket handle. That's the sort of overlapping wrap I'm talking about.
6. As much as I tried, I couldn't prevent making a mess with the glue. I got overspray on the edges and back side of the cover. That made me a little nervous but I was able to get it all off with some Naptha without damaging the finish.
7. Finally, I reinstalled everything in the reverse order.

As long as you're careful not to split the foam, you should get really good results. If it splits you may see a bulge or wrinkle through the vinyl covering when finished.

 

just take it to the dealer

 

I have this same problem, only on the drivers side of the door. I took it in for warranty and it's not covered because it's considered a trim piece. The quote was 300+ for the part + labor.

 

A little update on mine...

My fix didn't hold very well. It's starting to lift back up. I don't think the Duro spray adhesive I used is strong enough to hold up to the high interior temperatures when it sits out in the sun all day at work.

I think I should have spent the extra few bucks to get 3M spray adhesive. I'm going to get some of that and give it another try.
