I like the aviation tape.

But to answer the questions, its not visible because it's behind the glove box, and the cover stays on fine and isn't rattling... But I could probably put a tiny bit of duct tape where the half remaining snap is it necessary to stop a rattle. I just hate that my baby has a lung defect now.
Yes it is heartbreaking. But if it makes you or your baby feel any better, know that duct tape is meant for ducts, and you're finally using it for its intended purpose (sort of).

Guess that'll teach you to be more careful. ?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

I quite understand. Duct tape it and order a new part.

I just hope it doesn't affect the resale value! ???
Only if he's selling to another forum user. Now they know to look for it. ??

Two answers. Take your pick.

1. is it visible and will it make a rattle? If no. When parts are available. Currently that’s scheduled for June 31, 2024.
2. Duct Tape! Duct tape is your friend. Bonus points for using aviation grade speed tape. That’ll set you back 1000x the amount of the tape you can get at Ace Hardware, but think of the bragging rights!

Sandy probably was the lead, oops on the team that designed that too being aviation and all.

If you've ever watched Ask This Old House you'd learn that duct tape is the last thing (meaning never) that you want to use on ducts.

Fair enough! If I observed correctly, the ducts in my attic are sealed with heat-resistant foil tape like this one below. But that isn't as funny. ;)
