Ok, I do believe what I did is partially bend open the paper clip, leaving one "U" on it and the rest sort of straight. The I tucked that "U" part up under the plastic frame where the lights are and bent the rest down. Next I brought the cover up, hooked the one good tab and then brought up the broken side slowly while feeding the straight part of the paperclip through the slot where the broken tab should be. When it was up tight, I bent the part of the clip sticking out of the tab up to hold the cover.
Like I say, it worked for over a year. The only time it came down was after I took it to the dealer and the tech as usual couldn't take my word for it being broken and took it apart. He didn't get it back up right so it came down on the way home. I put it back the way it was suppose to be and it stayed up until the dealer got the part in (I was under warranty and they didn't ask how it got broken). Actually when it fell down after the tech, I think I put it up in reverse, put hook through cover then lift up and jockey the "U" part of the paperclip up over the top of the frame. What can I say, I'm a sneaky engineer.
