Touring Hatch Carpet-Panel Repair Clips

The carpeted panel on the interior of the E46 touring hatch is tricky to remove, and often the retaining clips are broken. I have created these two clips which can be epoxied in place to return normal function. In order to use them, completely cut the broken part of the clips out as shown in the photo then, use an epoxy like JB Weld liberally - the holes provide a mechanical bond for the epoxy. Note there are a right and a left. I did not create the center clip. Use cabin-heat-resistant material, dry-fit the part and confirm secure retention and unobstructed operation.
