Is it possible to fabricate trim clips ?

So I took out the two trim pieces that are used to cover the screws for the PCM. One of the trim pieces clips broke. The trim still clips into place but am worried that one day it may fall off.
Are there any options to repair the trim clips ? I really don't want to buy another trim piece because it's agate leather and I'm scared they may run me a serious bill.
Thanks!

You might be alright. I've broken a few clips on those and they still hold in place perfectly. I think I've removed those trim pieces at least 20 times now, lol.

Currently I am alright, the trim still has enough clips to hold. The problem is that I'm scared taking it out again to install a carplay retrofit.

FWIW, I find it's just those clips up near the dash that break as a result of not understanding how to remove these trim pieces. You'll likely never break the remaining clips once you know how these pieces come out. I'm just a dumb dumb and removed them outwards instead of straight back. I have a poor track record when it comes to breaking clips! ![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)

This might sound crazy to some, but you can try a dab of silicone adhesive.
