Need some help - Rear Tow latch cover

Im assuming its the rear tow hook thats under the cover on the right rear bumper.

The other day I noticed it unclipped on its own, and for the life of me I cant get it to stay in place. All the clips seem to be there but it just wont clip in tightly. If i tap on the top part it comes loose. Anyone have this experience or can offer some advice?

Purchase new one (which I think is a waste of money if its intact) or use some double sided tape to beef up one side of it so it doesn't slip out.
Just a cheap plastic part. Let us know what you ended up doing...

Thing is it doesnt seem to be missing any clips - seems to be fine -

Use a blow dryer on heat and gently warm up the clips to spread them out so they get tighter in the slot they fit into...

Whoa, couple of letter changes on that previous sentence could change the whole meaning of this conversation...
