This piece is for the Front Right Long Trim Piece on the 944 (Specifically my 951) that houses the clock, 12v outlet & Hazard light switch. This piece rests between the Heater Control Unit and the Dash.

After 30+ years this plastic gets brittle and can cause this tab to break off.

NOTE

You might need to sand down the side of the trim piece as this is a tight press fit. You can permanently fix these pieces together with an epoxy if desired.

This is amazing. Do you have to plastic weld this piece to the factory trim?

Thank you!

No, you do not. It can just be press-fitted onto the side rail or can permanently fixed if you desire. I used thin double-sided tape inside the channel to adhere it to the factory trim piece then put a small bead of Super Glue Gel just for good measure.
