install "butt sagging" inserts.
i got some fiberglass "inserts" for the back of my C5 because the car is beginning to (for lack of a better term) warp. it's not square across the back where the vents are. the brackets are simple fiberglass inserts with no instructions. how do you attach them or put them on?
tanks,

I used an epoxy adhesive that I bought at HD. They do snap in, but most certainly would fall out eventually if you didn't glue them. It's still not going to look perfect, but it should be a big improvement.

Make sure that you use some rtv silicone to hold it in. I lost one of mine and had to buy a new set.

I've had mine on for more than 5 years with no problems. They work great. I used some exterior trim adhesive and snapped them in.
