The panel which contains the center console's rear cigarette lighter keeps falling loose. It appears two clips are missing inside the center console to hold the panel in place.
Does anyone know the part number? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks!

Yes, it's the entire panel. You cannot order just the clips and that REALLY sux!

Are you sure it's not just a trim clip like part #07147073406.

Thanks guys. For a buck or two I'm going to try p/n 07147073406. If that doesn't work, I'll find something to wedge it in before I replace a perfectly good panel.

Some years ago I bent mine when removing the panel. I searched and couldn't locate the clips so went to the dealer. They looked and said the only way to get them was to order the entire trim panel. Chase had same problem in CA and was told the same at his dealer. If you do come across something please make sure to post it,
