Yes. I use glue. Ligue in the windshields. Fix it properly and in case of removal wont damage the console
Nice repro!
Tempting...
It's not that difficult to 3D print a bracket that has such snappers, with a functionality as original, and then glue the new chrome part on that 3D printed part. That way one could remove and replace it over and over again. I'm sure I removed mine >10 times over the 4 years that i drove the car.
@sfdon
(You may just mean this with your comment on "a bit of finessing to do") The originals have the small lines in a slightly different gloss level, a tad more dull if you will, compared to the shiny edge around it. Before chroming, if the lines are lightly glassbead blasted, will you not reproduce that gloss/dull effect even better? (and likely raise the cost even higher, i know...)

I packed them away for the trip home next week, but if I get a chance to pull them out to take a better picture
