Broken clips on right front side

Hi Everyone,

After a car wash

I noticed that the front whell arch is detached and 2 clips are broken.

Can I glue back the arch? Should I get a replacement?

Pics attached.

Thank you

Hi there,

I had that problem and just get a replacement. Cost $3 each clip. Just lift the hood and remove the clip from there and put in new one.

I just replaced a few on the driver's side on my car. The clips are inexpensive as mentioned above. I bought a few at my local dealer. Easy removal/install with a pair of pliers from inside the hood.
