Default My passenger seat module clips broke..Now what?

I was wondering what people do to solve this issue. I really hope I don't need to buy a whole new module, just to fix the clips...?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

Have the two fixing bolts ripped out of the lid like this?

The lid is available as a separate part from Jaguar.

I had all mine break since people hit them with their shoes getting out. I glue them in with JB Weld, they have never been a problem siince.

It is very simple, the cover just has a few tabs that you can snap out with the help of a screwdriver and snaps back into place. The module itself is retained in place with two bolts. Raise the seat as high as possible for easy access.

The 'lid' is secured by tabs which engage in slots in the module case:



There's 2 tabs each side, 4 along the back and 2 on the front. Carefully ease them free one at a time with a thin flat bladed screwdriver.
