I've never had mine out. Could you remove it as one big unit if you did glue it together?
Otherwise, hit up the junkyard and get a "new" one.

You can, but you shouldnt. Just hit up a junk yard and grab one. Its probably cheaper than the JB Weld anyway

The entire unit comes out. The switch fascia plate has a tab and two screws that attach it to the bezel. I'm assuming it was designed that way so Ford could use the same bezel and install the appropriate switch fascia plate based on vehicle options.
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything before making the attachment permanent.
Our local junk yard seems to think every used part is made of diamond & platinum and charges accordingly.
Thought about it, but the screw tab is only about 1/4" long and maybe a millimeter thick. I doubt it would hold at all.

Either go to a pick and pull or wait to find one on ebay that's fair priced.

Yeah, my advice would be eBay. They have tons of parts for 1st Gen Expeditions.

Use the super glue and baking soda hack on the screw holes to rebuild. Works well for me.
Thanks for all the replies. Since I didn't read any compelling reasons for not gluing the switch fascia piece back in, I did.
Feels more solid than before and everything went back together perfectly and works correctly.
Only cost me a little time and a dab of JB Weld that I all ready had.
