Well I suppose if you superglue it or something, but I don't think anyone's going to tell you that you can repair that. It's adhesive. What happened to it, anyway?

My TL's dash warped and was replaced, and the panels pulling apart from the window control things isn't unheard of. TL's interiors are not nearly as durable as Accords, it seems.

I think you can buy that part alone. But it comes with all the switches and stuff so tis gonna be $$$$$$$$$$. Did you try glueing it. Mine is about to do the same thing to.

I thought stuff was broken until I enlarged the pic.
I would try super glueing it back (a good quality rubber cement may be a better bet) with emphasis on tucking the finish back in place.

That is gunna be pricey, unless you can find one from a salvage yard.

Good luck.

It's odd that would happen - the door lock on mine shed the chrome - got it replaced by the dealer at no cost - I would have suggested the same had you not tried to fix it. Regardless it's a quick question to the dealership to see if they would replace it for you. It the least not charge you for the labour.
