Problem with plastic dash covers

[alfred.romero]

I have a 2011 QUADCAB and have these two plastic covers that do not sit flush. No matter how much I push them in and manipulate the teeth, they keep popping up. Has anyone replaced these? Here is a pic of them that I found online:

Not had a problem in mine, maybe get new OEM?

That was the plan but I could never find the part number.

Have they always popped up since new or is it a age thing? If both are doing it, I gonna say an age thing and suggest maybe seeing if you can file or trim to bring down the interference fit causing them to warp.

I bought the truck used last November and they've been like that. I saw a thread on ram forumz and they mentioned the problem but no solution. It isn't the teeth cuz I accidentally broke one and it still sits raised. I may just file it and be over it! Thanks

Mine on the drivers side will slightly pop up since new but everytime I'm at the dealer I forget about it.

Check out my thread. On the last page another guy mentions how to adjust them so they sit flush.

Thanks smothee! I remember that post too. I resurrected that thread and asked SitKneelBend what he did. Thanks for the assist!

I saw some other forum online mention that there is some advisory about it. Maybe the dealer may know about this.

Sorry, I hadn't seen your question. I fixed mine by popping them out and inserting my index finger to "stretch" or widen the clip/hook thingy. When I popped them back in, they were flush...



Manipulate the clip at the bottom of the picture (above)
