Default Dash trim panel issue... see pic

I'm doing a new head unit install soon on my stereo and was going to try to fix this while I'm in there. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this issue? The retainer clip is broken off on the upper right corner causing this ugly gap.

You'll find good info on the link below. Click on the link and then save the Word file. Once saved you can access is from your PC. That really does look terrible!

So I got some time this evening to go in and remove the trim panel and realized that out of the three retainer pins two of them are broken. I guess thats why I had such a huge gap in that corner. :/
