Default Interior Fuse Box Cover Keeps Popping Off...

How retarded is that? Does anyone else have this problem? I end up replacing it every car wash, and within a few days it falls back off. The tabs and everything appear intact...

Use a heat gun to slightly reshape it.
Could have shrunk somehow, that, or the kick panel itself.

Maybe one of your girlfriend keeps hitting it with her foot because the way you drive makes her nervous.

Are you referring to the trim panel cover on the kick panel or the fuse box cover that you access once you remove the trim panel cover?

If it's the trim panel cover, are you sure you're snapping it into place properly? As I recall, there are two distinct clicks when it is put into place. I've had mine fall off a few times when I was in the process of reinstalling it. I thought I had it in place properly, but I didn't.

Yeah, it is the trim panel cover. It seems to be going in all the way...but I can't remember hearing any clicks. I always check to make sure it is flush though, because I wondered if it wasn't going in all the way. If it ever stops raining maybe I'll get motivated to go out and look at it again
