Need some help...
I the process of replacing the AC/radio trim bezel I ran into a major problem when I went to put the center AC vents back in. Apparently the torx screws were so tight and/or old that the plastic frame that the 2 torx screws screw into sheared off. I managed to save one but I need so guidance on what type of adhesive to use to attempt to glue the part that broke. If I can't get this to work does anyone have any other good ideas? Thanks!

Might try looking on the Loc-Tite website for specialty adhesives. Ive pulled my center piece out to clean the contacts on the A/C before so I know exactly what you're seeing.

I've used JB Weld in similar situations, the biggest problem with the location is the size of the fragments. Had to use Q-Tips and build the surface up over a couple of days with the piece laying on my workbench.
