Default 05 Front bumper attachment

My front bumper cover appears to be detaching itself from the rest of the car. I see some clips in there, but it's not readily apparent how to replace/repair them. Does anyone know what I need?

When I bought my '05 DSOM I had the same problem. I went and bought the clip from the dealer, I was able to pry up the corner enough (VERY gently) to remove the broken clip and insert the new one, no more problems in 3 years.....
