General Boot catch

General Boot catch

OK, so I tried to reattach the plastic trim back to the lift gate, but I failed spectacularly. And the replacement fittings I bought didn't help either – they crush instantly. I guess I'll have to ask the service people.
 
Well known fault.Mine fell out at about 12 months old,as a quick fix I used some silicone sealant and put it back in boot lid intending to get it sorted at dealer. Forgot to do it.......it’s been fine for the last 2 years now!
Mine fell out yesterday. I guess the rubber has perished. Its a 500X 4x4 owned from new. Otherwise, been OK.
I am loathed to pay the dealer price for a whole new rear fitting, but I am also not very mechanically minded.
Do I simply inject silicone around the switch to hold it in place? Using glue won't work, as the aperture is slightly larger than the switch.
Any advice from anyone gratefully received.
Thanks Rob
