Metal torneau cover clips behind rear window

[XF001 93]

All the little metal threaded thingoes behind the rear screen of my xf ute are loose and pull out. Does anyone have the same problem and if so, how did you fix it?

I used weatherproof superglue, worked so far.

Mr Polson - where would be the best place to purchase said superglue?

Since the clips have self tapping type bottoms. What about drilling the holes bit bigger. Use the type of plastic clips that push into a hole and spread as the screw goes in to retain the clip.

Bunnings or Mitre 10 is where I got mine. 

 

Gregaust's idea sounds pretty good too though, especially if you put pressure on the tarp/clips sometimes.

Could you drill a small hole in a piece of sheetmetal and place it under the existing hole from inside the tub and thread the pin into it?

the area where they screw in is a boxed in section  which makes the fix a large job  to be successful   on my old ute I had new clips with the upholstery replaced across the front  of tarp to matchup new holes an new clips. the old holes were just bogged up  and I repainted that section [pressure pac white]

Not ever owning a ute, or ever working in the area mentioned above, couldn't you use larger shank self tapping screws to hold them in?

Sorry mate, I didn't look on my ute to see if it was filled in or not. That makes it a harder fix, bugger.
