Interior Panel on the Hatch Keeps Falling Off,

I've had to have my rear window replaced twice, the first time because I'm and idiot, the second time because of bad guys.

Now the interior panel keeps coming off. I have all the barbed spikey things but they must have been damaged when the window guy took the panel off to remove the shards from the window. None of my FLAPS seems to have any of the right size.

Any suggestions on how to keep the panel in place?

Get a complete set of the correct panel pins from your friendly local dealership...

Those things that hold interior pieces to the frame aren't meant to be reused generally. They should be very cheap, and consider them a necessary replacement every time you open up the siding.

Dealership or an online site will have them in stock for sure.

They are very cheap. But they're not inexpensive, especially at the dealership.

Have a heart to heart talk with the window guy. He's the one at fault on the repair.
