Ok,did great being careful until I got it out,upper dash pad on passenger side,the corner under windshield and is a seam area,well it broke off their,Can easily hot clue it together,but ant other suggestions.

And I can match it pretty good,the cushion part is hard.

Had the same problem with mine and I glued it back in. You might want to wait until you have refitted it or you may well break it again putting it back in, this wasn't a problem for me as I had the windscreen out. Also I put a CCCUK club sticker in the bottom right hand of the windscreen so you can't see the join line from outside

Glued my corner back and then put some body filler to smooth out the seam. Then paint. Then never point it out.

Glued the corner of my A pillar trim piece, then a bit of superglue 'coating' on it to stiffen it up. It'll work....
