Popped my lights on the other day, and got no resistance to my customary finger poke. Looked down to see the bank of three switches has just come away and dissappeared inside the dash.

I can just about turn the lights on/off (I have long fingers).

Anyone had this problem? I know the head unit will have to come out to get access, then I can get the facia plate off, but any recommendations for sticking the buggers back more robustly? (Shouldn't complain really, they've stayed put for 6 years, must be some sort of record for a TVR component.)

Hi

Had it happen on my Griff.

Solution is to get the facia out (easier than I thought it would be actually but perhaps thats because mine is ally?) and use two pack epoxy to glue the bracket back on to the reverse of the panel.
