What’s missing can’t find any pins or ? Can this be mended just sits in position but loose
Help please

I'm no expert. but that looks like it would be difficult to repair as the plastic locating extrusion has snapped and there are bits missing. Breakers yard or ebay maybe?

The pins will have fallen inside the centre console but as said there is also a bit broken.

Seems like a classic case of modern day anything: over-engineered and under-manufactured.

I have seen this on a few E89s would be nice if there was a simple fix!!
