What are the easiest things to break, interior wise, in the FD?

i would say the drivers side bolster if you have leather seats and the little pocket on the drivers side door are the first to go, 2nd would be door handles, 3rd would be those damn little metal clips on the headliner (if you ever remove the headliner that is)

Did you guys move these to the interior?

Doesn't so much break, but the windshield defroster vent cover on the right side. I've seen too many that have popped up.

^Yep. But only when it's cold outside. When it's warm, it lays down just fine.

I fixed my passenger side door handle. Its an easy fix. Usually the plastic that the screw goes through breaks, so it no longer holds the screw in place. I put the screw through a washer and tightened it back it so it catches the broken plastic, its rock solid now.

this is probably caused by different thermal expansion rates of the materials that they are made of. i.e. the plastic defroster vent expands/contracts slower than the dashboard material.

the passanger flip cover for the mirror on the sun visor, and the glove box notches that stop it from falling on the floor when you open it. passanger side vent track <--- maybe thats just mine though. Def the stock cd player.

things that already were said:

passanger door handle

drivers side flip up bucket

Crazy glue wouldn't hold it. Keep in mind your passengers won't know that its ghetto rigged with crazy glue, so they'll just yank it shut and, crack, its broken again. Fixing it with a washer is easier anyway.

Easiest thing to break is the brittle defroster vents on the dash. Those suckers are weak.
