Clio Button Panel got smashed

Unread post by Antuan »

Hello all,
I'm new here, thank you for accepting me to this honorable forum.
The button panel that is located under the media screen was hit and pushed in. How can I get behind it in order to push it back to its place?
And how do you think it would be best to fix it there? I guess something broke there and it won't stay in place without fixing.
I enclosed 2 pictures, one is from the net, showing the correct normal location and one from my car.
I assume that the ears or the brackets I marked with yellow arrows do not hold the panel and that it is actually snapped into place from the back, some how.
I thank you very much in advance!

It looks very similar to the Renault Zoe panel, take a look at this offering on Ebay to get an idea of how it's fixed, looks to me that you have broken plastic.

Thank you!
Do you have an idea how to get to this assembly in order to push it back into place?
I do not rule out the possibility of gluing.
