    I was taking the power mirror and locks out of the door, the whole plastic peice. i pulled to hard and the clip off the front of the plastic peice on it broke off. I was wondering if anyone has some ideas on how to keep it in place because the wires keep pushing on it and poping it out, ive tryed hot glue gunning it, super glue, and 3 other types of glue and in less then 2 minutes its already poping out. Id show you a picture of were its broke but im new on forums and have no clue how lol

    If you're talking about body clips, go to autozone and get new ones...

    If its the trim pieces, you'll have to get new ones, which also shouldn't be expensive.

    Seems someone else has learned the lesson of the cheap trim clip

    Remember, there is a METAL clip at the bottom end that you should start with, then once it is clear of the door panel swing the bezel up and pull towards you to release the top clip that most of us break the first time around.
