The '13 and '14 have different meters, but I think the procedure is basically the same.
On mine, both the outer cover and the inner (white) plastic mount were both badly cracked. Instead of buying new meters (which will reset your odometer), I opted to buy the plastic outer cover and plastic board mount separately. As I recall, the cost was less than $100 for both pieces. Here's a short post I made about it :

If your outer plastic is intact and the inner (white) plastic piece just has a single crack, I'd definitely go with a JB weld or other epoxy fix.
BTW, that "loose" feeling on the meters is normal. They're rubber mounted and can easily be moved by hand.
Yea, the only piece cracked is the white plastic piece. The other piece has a small nick that I can live with. I looked at your post and I found it interesting when you talked about the amount of screws it took. When I disassembled mine last night, it took only seven screws to get to it.
Did you remove the circuit boards from the white plastic piece? The majority of the screws were holding the circuit board to the white piece (at least on the '13 model). As I recall, there were about 8 screws per side and they were all in there very tight. Another good reason to do an epoxy repair if you can.
