Anybody know how the little wooden door pieces with the seat adjustment controls are locked into the door? Got one that's trying to escape!!

Thanks guys...it looks as though there are a couple of little lugs at the bottom of the wooden insert that will need replacing.

Hi

If I remember correctly,I have replaced the bits you mean. There are two black plastic "rails" which are screwed onto the back of the control module(also plastic). One side has fixed lips which you put in first (these are what usually break)and then there are two springs which give tension on the other side.

The rails can be obtained separately. Only thing of note is that the tiny screws holding the bits together can be hard to get out.Make sure you dont damage threads(I dont think new screws can be obtained from dealer).

(this is for prefacelift models)

I have dug up old receipt, I think part no.s are

1297270041-spring
1297270111-clip
1297270311-plate

In any case if I recall, the part no.on the plate/rail is actually on the part
