    I had one of these break off, not the red clip but the fixed in place part that the clip goes over. Trying my best to explain what I am talking about. Any Advice??

    Plastic weld it? JB plastic weld might be all you need. Maybe some minor grinding/smoothing the break.

    only problem is it broke down the middle too so I'd need to replace it, I'm not even sure if you can

    One of mine broke too... made no difference in it going back together and holding it tight. Try reinstalling it and see if it makes a difference.

    You ever plan on taking it off again? If it holds fine without it, rock on! Otherwise you could shim it, add two sided tape, glue it, etc. The joys of plastic clips...
