I keep breaking these stupid things, so I finally just ordered from FCP. Never again will I pay for this!
All the clips broken on the old one.

New one with everything transferred. This are a whole lot cheaper now than the last time I bought one!

Those clips do suck. Mine falls out with a good pot-hole hit.

I have no idea how I didn't bend my BBS wheel...
I saw a neat little in-field engineering trick someone did that I thought was a good idea. They just hot-glued a couple of paper clips to the back side of the cover so that the edge hung over enough to hold it in place. After the hot glue dried, they applied silicone caulk over the paper clips.
Seems like a lot of that white plastic used in the car like on the pillars, this cover, etc. are made by the same company, and it's brittle nasty stuff.

Found the "fix". :)

Paper clips are exactly how I fixed the broken tabs on the front of my shifter trim. Holding up like a champ.
I break one of the clips off just about every time that I remove that panel and just glue it back in place with a dollop of E6000 and let her ride. Most of my cars are held together with E6000.
