855 Tailgate loose/broken - How to repair 850 97

My 97 855 T-5 wagon has a loose interior tailgate. It is due to closing the tailgate and the plastic trim across the top has broken. I can see the cracked holes where the retaining clips are supposed to engage and keep the trim piece in place. When it first happended I bought new clips since there were four missing and thought this was the problem. No luck. The dealer in Darmstadt said that it is a $280 repair for a new tailgate trim piece. Is there a repair kit available? Can I order just the top plastic part where the clips engage? With such a great car it is a shame that the tailgate hangs loose and I have to gingerly close the door everytime or else risk having it pop off! Any help would be appreciated.
