Does anyone know how to fix a broken clip holder?

Is there something I can buy?

i have four broken clip holders like the one below.

For all the repairs I've done to my interior plastics I've used beige JB plastic weld epoxy. The color is close and when it dries it's really strong.

you probably need a donor gm panel and cut them off then glue it to yours

The plastic epoxy works well. Takes some skill but using a soldering iron and carefully melting certain bits back together and even meling new additional plastic for strength works good.

Ideally, if possible whenever something like that breaks, make sure to save every bit that breaks off so you can adhere it back on as well. When a big chunk is missing that makes it more difficult to rebuild/repair.

I've had good results using 3m super fast adhesive. Auto body shops use it to repair and rebuild broken tabs on headlights, bumpers etc. You only have about 20-30 seconds before it sets. It doesn't get quite as hard as epoxy or jb weld, but extremely tough. It is pricey stuff though.

You can also buy plastic welders on Wish which is like a soldering iron but uses metal clips in different sizes. The metal clip melts into the plastic to reinforce it when it dries. Just a thought for the future if other parts fail. You would need the broken piece which fell off however.

I have a feeling...this what I need to do since I don't have the broken pieces.

yup. unless you are handy with a grinder, shears and a drill or drill press then fabricate U shaped plates to hold the tab pins out of bendable aluminium or sheet metal and glue those on. not too difficult a job probably harder to source the time and materials.
