Front air deflector connectors

Has anyone else had this problem? I was changing the oil Saturday and found that the air deflector panel under the front bumper, under the radiator, was about to fall off. This splash guard or air deflector panel is held on with about a dozen plastic snap on connectors, instead of screws and these push, snap fit connectors are pretty cheesy and fall apart. I don't know if I scraped the deflector on something or the shop guys pulled it down to do the breakin service, but half of them are gone and the panel hangs down almost to the street. Any ideas on how to make this setup last more than six months?

Yeh, go to an auto parts store and buy some new snaps before it falls off and you run over it...

I've wired it up so it won't fall off and I'll take it to the dealer to put in new snaps. It should fall off in the first few months.

Freudian Slip. It SHOULD'NT fall off in the first few months.

I went to the dealer because I had broken some of those in the engine compartment. They gave me new ones for free...
