I took a more drastic approach which has worked. I

only did this on the 4 attachments along the top

(under the brake light -- which is what we had

problems with).

I got 4 metal brackets similar to your sheet metal

tinerman clips (aka speed clips). These are threaded

and typically used to anchor a thread in a wooden

object. They look like this:

==========

The vertical part is threaded. I flatened down the

spikes (i"\" and "/" in my ascii art) since they are not

needed. I inserted these in the metal part of the

frame (where your clips are). This was the tricky part

since I had to hold them in place with tape until I got

the screw in which pulled them tight.

I then drilled holes through the interior panels

plastic and used machine screws to the clips. You

have to use different length machine screws on the

outside and inside holes. I found some that were the

right size but you could cut them to size.

Warning: DO not overtighten since if the machine screw

is too longh it will poke out the boides sheetmetal on

the car's exterior. Keep an eye on this if you do this.

I also used some plastic covers on the machine screw heads.

The hardware store had a tan that matched the interior. You

slip these over the screw before using it so they act as

a washer with a hinged cover that snaps over the washer

portion. It looks fairly clean.

I did make one mistake: I measured in the distance to one

of the holes from the outside edge to get the location to

drill the panel. I used the same measurement from the other side.

Turns out the brackets are not completly symetrical. So,

measuiring from the left the two holes were at 6 and 20

inches from the edge, and measuring from the right the

rightmost two holes were 6 and 22 inches (I made up

the numbers -- point is measure for every hole relative to the

clip behind it).

You also need to check the wiper arm for possible interference.

We can slam the door as hard as we want and the panel won't

fly off.
