OUTRAGEOUS for a 5 cent (ok maybe 10 cent) piece of plastic. Maybe that's why they change shape!

it seems to me they no longer fit tight in the holes. and they can actually fall out onto the road while your driving. for instance when i opend me hatch today they where scattered all over the place but luckily they where all there.
i had an idea to put some 3M tape on the back and have it stick to the top of the bolt but they wont reach.
its a small problem, but it one gets lost you might as well take the other five out aswell since it wont look right anyway

im not sure if they broke when they poped out or what. its not just one or two its all six that feel that way. they are so loose you can tap them with your finger and they will pop out. i guess if they fall out then so be it and ill just order new ones.

Yeah, just bend them back by hand. That is what I did.
The other idea is to use a single small drop of black silicone sealer to the button or hole edge if you have broken off a couple of the locking tabs. That way when you need to get in there again it is easy and your button won't fall off either. In my case I just had to pull out the little locking tabs with my fingers a bit.
