2006 Ignition switch cover repair

The plastic cover for the ignition switch broke off, after looking for a replacement, but it seems it only comes with the ignition switch.

The 2 little tabs inside has broken off, and I was able to find one of the broken piece in the carpet.

I use a thick cyanoacrylate glue and it looks like that was the ideal glue for this type of repair, the bond is probably if not stronger than the original part. Since I still have the other side to fix, I decided to 3D print a new tab. After making a new tab on the 3D printer I decided to look one last time in the car and was lucky to find the other broken tab.

Here is the repaired cover with the 2 tabs glued in, hope it will hold up.
