ftp lense busted

hey guys, my drivers side ftp lense fell out a while back and i bought some new ones off a guy on the board and it was busted, the plastic studs that connect for the screw was cracked and broken.. i'm tired of looking at my car with only one ftp lense, what have you guys done to get it to stay in without the stock mounting? i've considered double sided tape but that feels too perminant to me

Stuff it in there and shim the edges so it stays. Neither of mine are actually bolted in.

JB Weld a bolt or threaded rod or another stud in the area where the stock stud used to mount.

JB Weld is a little better than superglue. When the charge pipe out of my turbo blew a hole out of the nipple that goes to the stock BOV, I repaired it with JB Weld. Five years later, I still have that same charge pipe repaired with JB Weld.
