The same thing happened to... one of my Audis. I wrote it up for the Knowledgebase, 
but apparently it didn't survive the move to MediaWiki.  

I got some of those square plastic bolts that are supposed to fit into the hole and
expand when you put in the screw. Since the holes in the trim panel had already 
been enlarged, I epoxied the plastic bolts to the plastic trim panel.  It held for as 
long as I had the car (1+ years).
