front inner fender plastic warping

all the clips/screws are in but the plastic inner fender guard is warping and coming off the metal fender. There is a gap which is allowing wind to go through and causing a rattling noise along the door hinge area.

any ideas on how to attach the plastic back to the body without screws? thanks

i have half of both of mine... the shop that "fixed" my car left out all sorts of lil things... like the clips that hold it to the bumper and keep it from getting sucked against your tires when you drive... fyi the tires eat right through them in less than a mile..

they also left out the screws that hold the grille to the bumper.. and the radiator cover to the grille.. the cover of the fuse box without a huge crack in it.. the fuse box itself i know they come with lil tabs on them that are used to hold it in place..

what a bunch of idiots. i hope they took responsibility for those mistakes.

someone suggested trying a blowdryer to soften it a bit and then black double sided tape. will update how that works out.
