Can i just get retainers for the switch on drivers side

[spider4]

I had been told that generally i would have to get a switch that has the retainers/clips on it.I just talked to a parts guy at the dealership and they had the switch for $55 or retainers for .58 cent. So please tell me the good news is all i need is the retainer/clips.

Well At the right of your photo near the mirror switch, that slides in then other side is where the retainers are. Of the piece near the right of
Photo Is broke you need the bezel or your were it actually slides into is cracked so

Ok JT.Honestly i was kinda lost at what you were telling me so i did a little more looking on the internet at available parts for sale.I see what you mean by bezel clips and such.The only question i guess im still asking is rather i can add these clips and retainer pieces or if that is to much trouble and i should get the whole piece with intact bezels and retainers.

just glue it
get some a epoxy and hold the piece it down and take a tooth pick and run the glue around the top
i didnt that to mine 3 years ago and still holding strong

I might just try that.However i think i got another thing im gonna have to do to get a solid fit.If you look at the bottom of picture(where the window switches are)that area from the switch to about 5 inches down is hollow,there is nothing under that cloth to support it.I felt the passenger side ones and there is definately something solid there under the cloth to hold it steady.Im thinking quick and easy maybe glue a solid piece of styrofoam from the hollow end back to a solid piece or better yet from one end to the other with a cut out for the switch and wires,and from there glue cosmetics
