Indeed. I'm glad you found this and posted up cuz that's the same type I've referred others to based on my experience with them. But, the few I've used, they all had stainless steel and aluminum guts. Maybe one manufacturer makes the main body and other companies stuff 'em with their baffles, etc. and some use mild steel.

The other day, I found one of my tag lights had a broken tab, so was loose and rattling around... replaced both with OEM parts. Damn snow got us again.. another 6” or so on the ground here, and hardly anywhere else got much at all. So dirty truck.. Tough install. [emoji23]
And, recently, I posted, looking for the seat frame plastic cover part number, since mine is warped.
As @Fless suspected, the last tab was not properly secured.. all I needed to do, was shine a light in there to see the bent plastic tab, and the metal clip not attached:
Popped those into their correct locations, and it’s made a significant difference. Unfortunately, the piece is still warped, from being that way for some time, but much better than it was.. I’d still like to replace it if I can locate a better piece:

I'll keep watching at the UPulls.... in the meantime how about a little light heat gun work?
Some crummy pics of the aftermath, stepper motors, backlighting, PRND321 was barely lit. I couldn't power it all up at once since the connector pins are too close together. Everything seems to work okay and I'll get with the neighbor and reinstall this weekend.
That might work, just make sure not to heat it too much. Plastic tends to have a “memory” and the right amount of heat can make it regain its original shape.I'll keep watching at the UPulls.... in the meantime how about a little light heat gun work?

Yup, I was thinking the same.. don’t want to do too much, but I’ll give it a little heat, and see if I can get it to flatten a little more. It’s already much better.

Yes, there's a dedicated relay for it. I'd like to do the electric fans too sometime in the future. =)
