That's good work Christine, thanks for sharing. The seat trim panel seems to be broken on about 8 out of 10 Blazers at the autowreckers.

Thanks! It might not be the biggest repair, but it sure was annoying to have it broken! LOL

And also, I thought others might find it useful. I used the same techniques, minus the fiberglass, to fix my center console lid that would bend downwards because the internal plastic had cracked.

I've also used super glue and fiberglass to reinforce where a panel had cracked. That worked reallybwrll too.

I wasn't happy with the replacement Dorman front driveshafts (2) I had installed to address a vibration in my truck that still caused some vibration at highway speeds. So I reinstalled the original one with a new u-joint and viola, no more vibration. Thankfully Rock Auto will be giving me a full refund, minus about $10 in shipping. The culprit all along was a super stiff original u-joint.

Lesson to learn? It is worth just getting the old driveshaft repaired as long as you are sure it was never hit and bent.

The thing on the right is a USB charging station. The swing-up cap has a voltmeter display.

It came from Amazon
HERE HERE
. There's two versions. One has 2 USB-A and 1 USB-C ports. The other has 2 USB-C, and 1 USB-A. I just rolled the dice and got the 1st version. The voltmeter display can be turned off via the little button on the right.
