Mirror Interior Triangle Help

Has anyone come up with a secure way to re-attach the interior triangles that cover the mirror access bolts?
The thin plastic locking tabs both are broken. Otherwise, the triangles are in perfect shape.
Thanks

I used velco. The super glue or JB weld didn't stand up to the pressure of placement, bur a metal guide as the hang clip, along with the several small stripes of the velco tape got it secure. I did show the next owner! just saying!

I'll give the velcro a try. I'm not having success with Gorilla tape.
Thanks
