Does it EVER end!?
Another little thing has popped off my NBC interior. This time it is the little Chrome cover for the Emergency brake button. Do I just glue the stupid thing back on?!

Mine broke off at one point while she was under warranty. The next time I went in for serivce I had my stealership replace it, if it hadn't been covered by the warranty I probably would have left it off.

No. The tabs are broken. I've tried glue.

Without replacing the entire brake handle and boot assy., the best repair would be to drill a small pilot hole in the center of the black button, counter-sink a small hole through the silver button cap and carefully screw in a flat-headed counter-sink screw to keep it in place...

If you put it back on with some 2-sided 3M tape, it'll stay at least a couple of years. Cheap and easy too
