help door panel?
Wow what a design, this is what my right side door panel looks like: 
Had the panel off thinking that I can get it lined back up better, i look at the panel there is nothing broke on the panel,
the plastic clips really suck! Were can I buy new ones?
Clips
This is the best I can get it:
it does not seem to stay hooked on top, Then it pop right out again: there something I’m doing wrong?

You could buy them from a catalog at about $10 for a few or buy 100 for 7.2¢ each at the link above.

I had the same thing with my car.
I see the metal bracket trick looks pretty sound and should probably be the way to go.
I on the other hand used the zip tie method. It was SUPER easy and took about 5min to get the door 90% of the way back to normal.
Just drill holes in the top and bottom parts that are cracked. Insert zip tie and tighten it. Brings the two parts together nice and easy.

I bought a box of 100...only needed three. Anyone need any of these to help me recoup my cost?
