Excellent, I am so glad it worked... One thing though - if the bolt detached once, it may do so again. The bolt and the special nut on the back of the clip are metal, so they probably will not break off that easily. the clip, on the other hand, is plastic, and as such, is THE weakest item in the setup.
I would strongly recommend to replace the clip, it seems to be "tired", if it lost the bolt once... It is only couple bucks in parts, but will save a lot of aggravation in a long run... Also, the "wings" on the old clip may look good, but if you compare them to a brand new one, you might notice the difference in the lenghth of the plastic material.
Ask me how I know all these stupid details - the car has total of 6 of those clips - I managed to replace about 8 of them already!!!
EDIT: Wow, the clips in the links you provided are at $3 each!!! dealer is selling them at buck and a quarter!!! I am really amazed to see that the dealer is cheaper - what the world has come to?!!!!
