So the wife was thrilled I fixed her rattling steering intermediate shaft after 60k miles of complaining. And after five minutes of me hating all the other newer cars on the road I decided it was cheaper/ better to fix what I had. So then she snidely asks when am I going to fix her driver's power door lock button? I was on kind of a roll and the weather was nice so I liberated the old one and noticed it was not past saving:

Turns out the little pips up top don't have enough grip/ depth to snap in and hold things properly.
Ok, so I dig through my pockets and find an earplug and a zip tie. Perfect! Drill a couple holes to feed the zip tie:
Add the ear plug and run the zip tie over it to keep tension on it and the guts:
Reinstall in car and I'm
