Replacement roof button question

[True-Blue]

Replacement buttons turned up from Ali-Express today, one broken…





Can anyone who has fitted these confirm if the broken tab is critical?

Ali-Express have refunded me, but still need to replace the button

As there are two tabs and only one is broken then I'd be inclined to dab a spot of superglue on it and try to fix the broken one. Then once installed the other tab will still hold the button.
So in your top photo (underside) at the top of the photo there are two (one each side) clips that hold the button in place and allow it to pivot. What the tabs do is stop the button from resting too high, so when the button is pressed and released it returns to the proper rest position.
Hope that all makes sense.

And, in case you've not seen it, how to install these little buttons....

Thanks Dave, I thought that might be the case… but thought I’d ask first before taking things to bits

Video looks excellent, thanks.

Super annoying … gets way more attention in this country than my roof buttons…

… I’m off to invent a “smart top module” for my heated seats

The superglue worked, bonded yesterday and left until tonight to fit… transformed

Fortunately I've got an old spare switch assembly that has both heated seat buttons in perfect condition, I'll swap them over when I've finished messing around with my current one
