I think it should just be pressed back on if the tabs aren't broken. I remember reading threads about this and the solution offered was to super glue it back on. I'll use some construction adhesive or epoxy when this inevitably happens to me.

I agree I thought it would snap back on also but it still falls off. epoxy might be the solution.

Solution seems to be superglue, hot melt glue, or epoxy, with super glue getting the most votes: Aargh... Stupid Center Console butterfly Tabs!

After closer inspection I found very SMALL lips on the tabs. I snapped it back in place, don't know if it will stay. If not I will chemical attachment.

If it were me I would see if I could find some double sided adhesive that would permit removal in the future if needed. Super glue and other strong adhesives may be difficult to remove in the future.

I just crazy glued mine back on after getting a quote of 120 bucks from the stealership. I put a small dab in each of the 3 prongs and its been fine.
