[s-cars] Sunroof control panel

Well I'm on my second one of these in a few years.  This time the knob 
that controls the sunroof started falling off and it backed out just 
enough that the knob started turning freely without affecting the 
sunroof.  I had to take the control panel out to fix it.  Of course in 
doing so I broke one of those  horribly designed piece of $%#^ steel 
tension tabs that holds the whole thing up.  You know the one with the 
two pieces of melted plastic being the only thing that affixes it to the 
panel.  It's unbelievable that such a poorly designed and built part 
made it's way into a $50,000 car...  Anyway, has anyone successfully 
glued one of these back on?  When my first one died I tried various 
glues, but they all failed and I ended up driving home from where ever 
with the panel hanging down in my face.  Is there a glue or method of 
attaching that will work?  If not, does anyone have a good source on a 
new one?  I can't remember where I got my second one so I have a feeling 
it was the stealership.  I tend to block those purchases out due to the 
traumatic cost of even the most insignificant part.
