My 2018 C30-CB’s Techma toilet flush switch has broken through its mounting. The mount in the switch body is a pin. With normal pushing to function, it pushes back out of the mount. The switch still works ok. It’s a very weak design for the forces required. I’ve drilled it out and put in a screw and nut to hold it, but that has now failed as well. Has anyone figured out a mounting fix?
 
Following - I have an R31 on a recent trip my Techma did the same thing. I plan to pull it apart and come up with a permanent fix (I HOPE)

We have the same problem in our 2023 Cutwater 32S. It has broken three times. We are using tape to mount it to the fiberglass because there is no mount behind it that can withstand even a firm touch to flush. The tape is not a pretty fix. If you come up with a solution, please post.
 
I looked up a solution on U-Tube.
They suggested drilling holes in the rim of the panel and black subframe.
I put in two #6 machine screws. One on top and the other on the bottom. In-line with the button. A small washer and nut on the backside. I added a drop of blue thread locker for security.
So far it’s working like a charm.
 
super glue is your friend... worked for mine and hasn't failed since.
