    As the car is now off the road for the winter I tackled the radio cover issue. It was a jumped tooth on the cog. The process is not complicated, take first tunnel off, then glove box and steering trim and it’s then straight forward if you follow the instruction manual, I struggled most to put back the radio, it’s a snug fit and you fight against cables, in the end I untangled all cables tied them straight and all was good.
    Fitting the cog on the left side is well explained in the manual. Turn the cog counterclockwise until block, close the radio cover and insert the cog
    See before and after picture
    Cost me zero, only elbow grease
