Fortuitous that this old thread from 2005 got bumped up. I've been working on my 85 FJ60 and came up with a good hack for the broken fuse panel door clips. I've been running no door for years, but still had the old broken one in the center console. Looked around here, Ebay, etc for a replacement, but they are stoopid expensive.
Was looking at my old door and the dash trying to figure out how to reuse the old broken door. Struck me that the dash is metal and the door is plastic. Magnets possibly? I had some small rare earth magnets and looking at the dash thought they might work since there are tabs that could make contact.
Busted out the dremel tool and epoxy:
(also, here's my 1985 diagram for original thread purpose)
Tabs are broken off my door, but glued the magnets into corners.
See those tabs on the upper corners? magnets line up perfect.
Door magnetized in place, feels strong!
