Fuse Panel Fix

I have noticed that the two clips that hold our fuse panel cover becomes weak and sinks in, losing it's ability to hold tight. A quick fix would be to get a screw driver and push it out every once in awhile. Well I came up with a quick permanent fix while adjusting my friend's clutch pedal. All you will need is two zip ties and it will make the tight fix last. Around the two big clips you will wrap 1 zip tie around each. Thus, holding the clip out, resulting in a more snug, tight fit. Look at the pics below, you won't have to worry about it coming off from hard acceleration or pot holes. Be sure to snug the zip ties towards the bottom, so it pushes the top out, that's the part that will keep it harnessed.

Hmm interesting. I haven't had an issue with it yet but that's pretty cool.

that is a pretty creative solution.
i've never had a problem with it just falling off,
but i have noticed that its not very tight on there.
sometimes when i get out my knee or foot hits in and it falls out,
i might have to give this a try

I covered those flaps with some black electrical tape when it kept falling out about 4 years ago. Been perfectly tight in there since.

mine will fall off if I hit a hard bump. I might try the tape method.
