TexasQuest Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Very common. I've found a couple in junkyard cars but the almost always break trying to get them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyle22 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Cheapest fix would be gluing it back on i suppose, if you still have the piece. I'm open to suggestions too, since I never had the rest of my button. Thought about gluing something on, but haven't found anything laying around that would make it look good. Yet...

ucw458 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 A lego antenna fits in the hole for the reset and works great. http://www.findmybrick.com/images/P1110481.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did: try gluing, couldn't get that to work well @ all. Not w/o: drilling a tiny hole down the center of the shaft, glued in a thin piece of (don't even recall what it was, something laying around), then drilled the button, & glued it to match up. Actually, modified a button from something else "black" laying around. On another car I am fortunate enough to have an original non broken trip setup. (of course, the car isn't running :mad: ) Do you just leave the lego antenna clear, how's it look? Great ideas here! Very helpful! Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 It looks fine if left clear. Matches the front clear plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
