Message :This ain't much, but it might help someone.
:One of the plastic brackets snapped off my interior center plastic hatch trim piece. This is the trim piece that covers access to the reverse lights from inside the hatch. The brackets at it's base fit over studs on the trunk floor. These brackets get snapped off easily because the temptation when working with this interior rear panel is to just remove the two plastic thumbscrews near the top, and then bend the panel back in towards the hatch area. Snap!
:Anywho, I super-glued the bracket back in place. I used the super glue only to hold the piece in place for this next step.
:I then cut a small right angle reinforcement out of some steel hanger strap and used two part epoxy to splint across the fracture line, on the back side of the panel, where it wouldn't show.
:
:Very strong, reinstalled the panel without any problems. :c)

If it's not broken, lets take it apart and find out why not.
