Common problem?
The long plastic trim that cover the entrance of my boot around the lock catch is loose and I cannot for the life of me secure it properly

I only had one plastic lug thingy and it was pretty worn so I'll order another pair. I've spent the afternoon sorting niggly jobs.. so far got the cigerette light ring working and sorced the green ashtray light bulb which I'll also order.
