Small panel behind rear backup button?

Does anyone know how to tighten up the small black plastic panel behind the b/u sensor button? The panel is on the dash b/h the 2wd/4wd switch...

i dont think you can tighten it up it just pops in & out. you might have a broken tab. there is a small slot at the bottom use a small screw drivr to pry it out & check the tabs.

Tighten?

I guess I'll look closer for the tabs. When I push the rear backup (sensor)button, it just seems a bit loose...I guess Superglue is always a poss., but don't want anything messy...

I use super glue as a last resort, but it has come in quite handy on dashes over the years. It works well with plastic, so a little goes a long way. Use a heated needle to open the tip for a smaller more accurate application.
