Plastic Tabs

[edco]

Hello Friends
I do apologize if this issue has been raised before, but it's past 3AM. I went thru about 20 pages and nothing showed so call me names if necessary.

On my 2011 X5 there is a part called a grid. I took a photo from real oem, but I'm using Imgur since I maxed out FREE space on photobucket. In the image that hopefully comes across it is part #8 ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (PS).

These grid parts must serve a purpose since the have a hole to pop them out with a finger. My issue is that I have tried fighting with them and eventually I can get the tabs back in the slot. Hit a few bumps and out it comes. It doesn't fall OFF but it's being held by probably 2 of the 4 tabs.

Today I discovered my PS rear trim with the same tab setup, indicated by #5 in the photo have also come out of their holders. It's a poor design since you have to go PAST the point where it would latch and the try to push it into position.

I have been seriously considering some Gorilla Glue, but truthfully I am reluctant since if it doesn't hold, I'll have to deal with the glue mess too.

So anyone out there come across a similar problem, and if so is there a miracle cure you'd like to share with me?

I hope this photo works:
