320Gt broken parcel shelf clips

Ive done stupid thing when installed rear camera and placed my shelf that attaches to rear boot door wrong way round, and when closed the boot the lip of that shelf being wrong way round pushed on parcel shelf that right behind rear seats casing all 4 clips that coming from the body snapped.

Any solution to this? Ill try any DIY suggestions given Tried hot glue but it just comes off. How far do i have to dig to replace them? are they part of allot bigger piece of body panel?

As per image below this is where clips go in to the panel.

We're all looking at the same realoem. The trunk trim panel shots there don't show the pins. You probably have to remove the trim panels to remove the original pins and devise replacements.

It's not shown in my Bentley manual, but it's probably a combination of a few screws and a lot of clips. You'll need at least two plastic trim removal wedges and torx screwdrivers.

Looks as though you'll have to replace item number 3.

These instructions should help get you close enough.

I believe the pins in question screw or otherwise mount to those pieces, but without removing the trim that covers them I can't be sure.

Thanks for info guys. I didnt get to opening amd pulling trim panels off but as a temp i manage to use wide screws, cut head off, put some hardened silicon inside holes where pins broke off and screw them in. But will get it repaired properly.
