Side Skirt/Trim fell off!

Side trim piece fell right off! All the plastic clips broke off and I need to re-attach it. Talk about embarrassing driving around without it. Any suggestions on what to use to but it back on? I really don't want to buy another one.

You might be able to get the plastic clips at autozone. I'm not sure what the ones on the cobalt look like but the ones on my eclipse were the same as the ford door panel clips. A couple of my clips broke so I got the little pack at autozone to fix it from being loose.

3M tape, use self tap sheet metal screws on the ends to attach to the wheel-well?

3M Double Sided will fix that for sure.

What these guys said, just makes the surfaces you stick the tape on are clean, also if your in a colder climate, I recommend using a hair dryer to warm up the surfaces before applying the tape for a better hold
