The check panel in my new purchase is sagging down. The whole fibre board area around it seems a bit weak. The clip things aren't present either. Checked my other car and the area seems a lot more solid. Couldnt figure how the clips are attached though.

So what are the best fix options?

Thanks

the clips are glued in on the inside, the fibre board has two recessed areas and the clips are attached to a plastic bracket which is fixed using some sort of adhesive to the recessed area on the fibre board.
the clips have fallen off on my car as well would have taken a picture for you but it is in storage and not close to me sorry.
