If I wanted a 107, that is the one that trips my trigger. no v-8, no
ACC, no auto trans, with Euro lights, with euro bumpers. M110 in
euro trim is a powerful engine for its displacement.
That's what they are calling it. Definitely a Euro.
I'll go check it out for you if you want.
Definitely desirable since its a Euro, but still a little pricey if you ask

Keep in mind you want to take it off when you need to access the climate
control panel for service. Don't glue it!
Small pieces of a thin double stick tape should do it and you should be
able to pull it off when the time comes.

This is pretty common as the wood ages and the substrate it's on moves around.
You have a couple of ways to deal with it:
Double sided tape, which, if you get the thin stuff, works pretty well and is
reversible.
Flaring the pin a little to get it to fit tightly in the hole on the ACC panel.
I don't mean gob on the glue. Just a dot or two should be plenty and still
allow removal.
