vents and body trim

I know this car is 10 years old now, maybe 11, but recently the trim on the passenger side above the wheel came off. this morning i noticed the drivers side vent near the wipers was pushed in.

jeeze!

so while i still have the vent and one of the wheel trim parts. is there any way to get them to stay on?

the molded clips appear to be broken on both parts.

any suggestions would rock! Also it seems the wheel trim installation seems impossible since 75% of the clips face one way and the last one faces the opposite direction. Is there a bolt on version?

If the clips are broken on the wheel arch trim, we carry those: 07-13-2-757-821, but if the clip holders on the unit are broken, then unfortunately, you'll need another new trim piece (51-13-1-505-866).

As for the hood vent, are the clips surrounding the unit totally broken?
