Default F55 rear shocks

While doing a converter install, I lowered the cradle assembly and I popped/broke the plastic clips that retain the line that attaches to the top of the shock. I forgot about this in the procedure. What is the remedy? I'm sure GM doesn't just sell these plastic clips/holders. Thanks guys.

Yes they do sell just the plastic part, but if your's are gray, you have to modify the new ones.

See this for the cure.
