A couple fixes...

Hey Everyone, I'm new a new member but ive been reading the forums for some time now. It's awesome having all this information on the vehicles available to me but i have a few questions on some things i havent seen.

Firstly I have this problem, (Pic Below) the plastic is peeling away from the shift plate and i was wondering what the best way to go about fixing it would be?

My other problem is on the drivers side the plastic under the door has cracked and broken off near the back, i have all the peices and was wondering how i would go about putting it back together?

Thanks for all the help!

cheap fix, epoxy glue, or try and melt the plastic together. Proper fix (probably want to do this since it gets stepped on alot) replace it.

I'd replace the plastic in the door. Probably easy to find at a junkyard or ebay. Epoxy should work on the center console though.
