clips snapped, common problem ive had to fix loads, i tried superglue and it worked for a bit but then came off again, what i do now is...

you will see at the back of the gaitor at the bottom plastic bit (bit closest to back of the car) there is a little rectangle plastic bit sticking down where the clip has snapped off, get a screw and screw it in there to act as a clip and it will sit back in fine, only problem is i cant get mine back out now lol

Yup it's French build quality for ya - or lack of

The gaitors are about £4 from Renault incase you're wondering

£6 or so from Renault when you refit it if done prperly won't be an issue unless your battom mount allowed to wear to much.

Mine broke off last year on a really cold morning, i just pushed it back in.
It's been fine since [touches wood]

Dont try to glue it or silicone it, it tried to stick mine and got glue on the console which dont look pretty, luckily I got it off.
If you stuff the whole square plastic thing at the bottom of the gaiter in the hole it looks fine, hope that helps.

I've just got a new one, if the back clips are broken it will never hold in place.. they are £5.02 and part number is 82 00 071 449

i just put it back in place and wedged a screw between the gaitor and the plastic to hold it in place.. has worked for 5 months now !!

Mine broke off when i bought it, exact same problem as yours! Cost less then a tenner to fix!
