Is this common issue for a C5?....
The round plastic trim around my key slot ignition switch is loose. It drives me crazy. Is this a common thing with a C5? Has anyone else experienced the loose plastic around the key slot ignition switch?

You need to remove the knee bolster to install the new one. The bezel is cheap, the work is a PITA.

I was going to do the silicone trick but I elected to order a new one from the dealer. The part number for an 2002 is 2852046. My dealer overcharged (I mean CHARGED) me $22.55. I looked it up on GM Parts Direct and it's $9.38+$9.95s/h = $19.33.
