Push Start caved in, trim clips broken

[moem1090]

Hey guys, so my push start just caved in a few days ago. I took the trim piece out to find the button secured by 4 clips. 2 of those broke. I called ford and of course they are not sold seperately but need to buy the whole trim for like $220.00
Anyone experience this or has an idea how i can get replacement clips or a repair thats cost effective?

Any pics? Can you use an epoxy to keep it in place?
I've had good experiences
With this.

No I don't think an epoxy will work

One is fractured and one completely broke off and fell inside somewhere

No the ignition switch is secured underneath by the clips that are attached to the whole trim that goes straight to the glove box

I would try adding a couple of rubber o-rings behind the push button start to see if you can possibly secure it in place.  Z

Can you insert the switch and zip tie around the clips from the back like this.

Looks like that clip piece is replaceable. Junk yard will prob be best option.

I was curious if you can possibly remove the 4-torx screws and maybe create,fabricate a plate behind the cover in order to hold and secure the push button start in place on the pic below.
I fortunately had the pleasure in removing and replacing
the instrument cluster on a few occasions which was a fun experience.LOL. Z

My push to start button did the same thing about 6 weeks ago. I was shocked to learn that I can only by the huge trim piece. I wrapped electrical tape around the tabs real tight and haven't had any problems since.
