Default A/C control locking plug broke! Help!

2008 F150 FX2 Sport Supercab.
Hey guys I’m new to the forum, I have a problem with the connection for my a/c controls. The “locking” plug that goes into the controls broke and it now can’t lock it’s itself into place. If I hit the radio bezel trim too hard it’ll just pop out . I’m looking for the part number of the plug itself or an alternative method of fixing this. Thanks.

Not sure what your referencing, a pic would help.

But I think your talking about the connector harness on the back of the bezel? If it's not staying in place because of a broken tab or lock mechanism, I would personaly either ziptie it if possible or if not just use a hot glue gun and glue the connector in there. You can break hot glue off if you ever need to disconnect.

Default I think reaper is right-- glue gun

Simple fix and removable . No sense getting special connector when it may never be pulled again .

Thanks for the info redfish and reaper. Im pulling the bezel out multiple times a month because im doing some rewiring/rerouting of harness's to fit a larger audio and lighting systems. i was hoping there was a part # for the locking harness itself. I don't want to be gluing it back on every time but ill explore other options such as a plastic L bracket with velcro to remove and reattach it.
