Thank you for your idea! I was able to rig the switch with a modified bracket which was a touch too shallow so I epoxied dimes to each end and then used the same epoxy blend to fasten it to the top of the cover. It has been two years and still holding. The switch itself is a little temperamental but functions. I will remember your Q-bond formula!!

When I removed the console I found one clip was broken but was luckily laying beneath. First I tried super glue but that was a joke. Then I read about Q-Bond and tried it. It was amazing. When I snapped the switch back in, there was a nice loud firm click and the clip held.
As for Q-Bond, check out YouTube and search for "super glue and baking soda." Apparently that is all that Q-Bond actually is. Use a little super glue to get the clip to stay in place. Then sprinkle a little baking soda on the backside where a bit of the damp glue is. It will harden in seconds. I mean like three or four seconds. Put a bit more baking soda on it and another drop of glue. Again, it will harden fast. Do it for three or four layers. It is amazingly fast and strong. On YouTube you'll find people repairing all sorts of things. Give it a try on some scrap plastic or metal first to get an idea.
