The sunroof control cover is notorious for having the metal spring clips on
the sides break off, which causes the cover to fall down.  The clips are
held in by two posts that are part of the molding and are melted over to
form a rivet head.  I re-attached mine with some super-duper, high peel
strength, high temp epoxy adhesive, which we like to call blue goo, and it
has been holding fine.  Apparently the previous owner of your car didn't
have the same luck.  The biggest key in a successful bond is surface
preparation.

The panel only should be the $48 one.
