Or maybe something else happened to it, I dunno. I think the #1 and/or #2 push pin holders on the panel are broken - not the push pins themselves, but the part that extends out from the inside of the panel and holds the push pins. I can see what appears to be a big glob of glue in there where the body shop "fixed" it.

This is exactly the reason that I removed mine. My #1 mount was broken and I had a little gap there that I couldn't take. Once I had the rocker off I was able to repair the broken mount with my soldering iron doing a little plastic weld.
