Under Dash Panel Repairable?
My driver side under dash panel is quite broken. The two side pieces that hold the interior temp sensor cover and the latch switch are cracked beyond epoxy and super glue repair. Can those two pieces be replaced or do I need to spend the $400 on a complete used piece?

I have replaced that top left corner piece on mine using two broken knee bolsters to make one better one. You just need to find a good donor part that has a good top left corner for cheap. JB weld plastic epoxy is good stuff.

That looks really bad - unless you can somehow fabricate the missing section and get it to firmly attach to the rest of the plastic, you would be best going with a different knee bolster. You might want to try a place like Vettenuts (used parts vendor) to see if they have one in stock.
