Titan tail gate top broke off, how to reattach?

Pulling some wood out of the bed of my truck last night, and the tail gate top thingy broke right off. All of the clips broke right off. A new top is about $100.

Not mine, but a pic of the underside of the top:




The clips clip through small rectangular holes in the top of the tail gate.
All of mine are gone.
Thinking maybe some sort of puddy/glue/adhesive may be able to hold this thing on?

Any ideas before I spend $100?

3m double sided trim tape- it will survive a nuclear blast. Done. Find it at any FLAPS. Make sure the plastic isn't shiny when you put it on, clean it good and scuff it slightly for bite.

3m actually makes trim tape, Randy is right that stuff is very strong. I have used it to hold an instrument on the side of an aircraft and it survived through 300+ mph.

I have small black boxes in my car attached to hidden horizontal surfaces that stay hung in 150deg. temps, AZ interior temps. Works like a champ. Better than duct tape once you get it to bite.

Thanks guys. I was over thinking it.
Tape sounds like the plan.
