Broke platic clip

When attempting to install the m performance carbon fiber door handles I broke one of the plastic clips on the 4th and final handle (go figure).

Is it possible to use an epoxy to fix the plastic clip back?

It won’t hold....but probably won’t matter either.

That’s another concern with used parts. Have they been damaged/weakened during uninstall.

Seems like your only option

One thing I noticed is that the clips that came on the market performance handles are not nearly as robust as the stock ones. Kind of sucks but it is what it is.
