I repaired the MMI screen mechanism (replace broken plastic cogs with metal ones) a good few months a ago now and when I put it all back together it didn't all go back together perfectly...

Those imperfections have been doing my head in ever since and I'd like to have a go at sorting them out. I was just wondering if anybody could offer some advice to help me to do so.

Basically, two problems:

1. When I went to reinstall the the chrome section of the dash immediately underneath the MMI screen, the section which has the card tray attached, I couldn't reconnect the power cable which plugs into the back of the card tray which powers the red light behind symbol for the card tray. There was absolutely no slack on the power cable so it was impossible to plug it into the back of the card tray before pushing the whole thing back into place. So the red light behind the symbol for the card tray isn't working. I'd like to sort it out but have absolutely no idea how. Any ideas???

2. Following the repair to the mechanism, the MMI screen pops up and down really nicely and has worked faultlessly ever since, but the only disappointing thing is that when it closes the edge of the wood trim which covers the MMI screen when it's in the down position doesn't sit flush with the edge of the wood trim immediately underneath the vents which are on either side. It's approximately 5mm short of where it should be if that makes any sense. Again, I'd like to sort it out but have absolutely no idea how. Any ideas???

It's a big job for me to take it all apart again to address these 2 problems which some might see as minor and not really worth the bother, but I'd like to have a go... like I said, they're doing my head in.
