Porsche Crest Help mounting rear interior panel in cabriolet

As you can see from the interior photo, my rear interior side panels are sagging. They're held in only by the bolt and plastic screw/cover (green arrow). I have the screws that should secure the panels at the center / bottom (red arrow), but nothing to connect them to aside from an empty bracket (screw spins inside it) connected to the body pan.



Can anyone with a 3.2 cab give me an idea of what should be inside that panel? Perhaps a picture? Please! The sagging is driving me crazy--everytime my kids sit in the back I have to tuck the panels back into place.

I've also attached the customary photo of my 911.

Thanks,
David

There is a flat clip that slides on. This accepts the screw. Same type of "nut/clip" used on the upper door trim screw toward the rear of the car. Could look in the well behind the cover and see if they just fell off and could be found. Most auto stores should sell them. Glenn

Thanks for the recommendation...I used a spare clip that came with my replacement speakers. It was made to slide over the leather to reinforce the screw hole for the speaker grille.

I slid it over the mounting bracket behind the interior panel and pressed into place with pliers. Worked like a charm.
