What secures the centre console panel to the dash?? (black bit with heater switches, radio etc)

I replaced my dash not so long back and must of left some screws out as the bottom of it is hanging out a little and isn't set back like it should be.

Any ideas?

Hi , the switch panel is held by 2x small screws at the the top which you need to take out the hazard /heated r window switch and the switch blank plates next to them to get at and at the bottom by the 2 x really akward to get at ones that screw upward from the storage space behind the main ashtray . hope that kind of makes sense :mad:

cheers .paul.

thanks paul.....I've just gone and checked again before you answered and it's got to be the bottom screws. I've got some spares but none seem to fit :-( What an akward place to put screws!
