Interior Falling Apart

The little switch panel that holds the door lock and power window switches on the driver side popped out of the door the other day. When I looked at it, it looked like sometime a while back the plastic on the door panel surrounding the switch panel broke right where the clip on the switch panel clips in, so there isn't anything for one of the clips on the switch panel to clip to.

The last owner apparently super glued the old switch panel onto the door, but that obviously didn't work well (the panel has been loose since I bought the car almost a year ago), and I'd kind of like a better solution, as I didn't have much luck trying to reglue (or re-epoxy) it.

Anyone have any ideas?

You'll have to buy a new one. They're around 20 - 40 dollars. I had to buy three of them.

A new switch panel? Or the part of the door that goes around the switch panel?

The small plastic piece that the buttons go in. They're only about 20 bucks I think.
