Looks like the solution may be to add some volume to the tabs that hold it in place (i.e. with a buildup of duct tape windings) so it'll stay in place.
I lost mine one day. I think what happened was i shut the door they popped out and i threw them away when i was cleaning it because i didnt know what they were. How can i fix this? Also my dual climate control has about a half inch circle missing which lights up yellow when the cars on so its super ugly. Do you think tape or maybe nail polish would be a good fix?

ABS went out, so no TCS or active handling.
Electric locks went out, so I can't use the key fob.
Rocking seat.
Drivers side mirror is stuck between night and day mode.
Vanity mirror fell out on my drivers side mirror before I read the tie strap fix, so I cut the wires and took it off. Got the passenger side partially fixed, just need to put in the double stick tape.
Lack of low end torque that comes with the G5X3.

Leaky butt, right side. Check it a couple times a year but never have to add any. Just leaves that little spot on the floor once in a while.

The lousy emergency brake never worked and is an issue with a manual trans

Also the tire sensors are now starting to fail as the batteries go dead.

Sometimes the turn singals don't work. Firm wrap on the dash and they a fine again.

In no particular order,
1. Driver seat memory/easy entry has a mind of its own.
2. Even with new batteries, key fobs are finicky.
3. Electric antenna inop. (Don't really care because I have XM unit installed.)
4. Trying to find a source for original 17"/18" C5 wheel
5. Have to get seats reupholstered soon.
6. Want to take it to Doug & Chris for a tune.

Despite that, I love driving it.
