Damaged 12v Outlet and Parking Brake. PLEASE HELP!
Hey everyone. First time poster, long time lurker. I need help, ive done every search possible. I have a 2013 F10 535i Xdrive. Someone spilled something in my front cup holder. I had the plastic 12v Outlet plug in at the time. I guess it dried and when I went to use it one day I pulled too hard and the illumination trim cracked and I couldn't remove the plug. So, rather than damage something even more I just left it as is. Anyone know how the whole assembly of that is configured? Do I need to replace the entire socket because of the illumination ring being cracked? Also, went to the car wash and I guess they were wiping down the interior too hard and cracked my park brake button. And no, they didn't care. I want to do these repairs myself. If you know any guides or part numbers that could make me not switch to a Kia would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas.

You probably will have to replace whole outlet plug shouldn't be expensive
I never understood why people take their cars for full service to the carwash. one thing is certain they will scratch your screen no question and thats not cheap. its impossible to fix unless you replace whole unit. |

The wash monkeys would have to be doing some seriously hard wiping down to crack the Parking Brake button, are you sure they weren't practising their golf swing with it?
