Plastic Ignition Bezel
I recently swapped in a new double din head unit and now notice that the plastic ignition bezel has some movement to it. Even if I don't have the key inserted, I can move it with my finger, etc. I really never paid attention to it until after I installed the new DD unit so I'm wondering if I incorrectly re-installed the bezel. I know if needs to be aligned correctly with the ignition wire/clip, which it is, however I just don't remember it having this much play earlier and wonder if I missed or broke a connection tab.
Appreciate any advice or insight.
Edit: So I found this video on You Tube so apparently there are three tabs that need to be connected. I don't think my two tops taps are which is why there is movement. I'm hoping I can make the connection without having to remove the entire bezel (again).

Good luck - hope you can get it to stay in place without a new part, but thankfully the C5 console is not too difficult to remove and put back together.
