Hi all,

The driver side door cladding broke loose and the dryer at the car wash blew it off. All the clips stayed on the door and the plastic panel went flying. It looks like the plastic clips had a metal piece that "bit" a lip on the panel, but the metal has rusted over the years. The clips themselves do not appear to be available, perhaps they were sold as part of the panel...

What is the best way to reattach the clips? Do you just use epoxy?

look up 'plastic weld' and 3M automotive plastic epoxy for the type of plastic.
It looks like PP polypropolyene or could be ABS or PVC

3M has some good adhesives- look at professional grade on their website.
