Question door pocket velour trim panel

I posted this over in detailing about a week ago but haven't heard any ideas.

The velour-covered panel that attaches to the bottom of the door pockets has come loose and is flopping around. Upon investigation, several of the locking "nubs/posts" on the back of the panel have broken off.

Any ideas on how to reattach it to near original looks? So far, I've considered epoxy for the nubs/posts or velcro but am not sure if either will last at all.

go to a junkyard, and get the rear trim off of a chevy astro van back window interior trim. it uses a very hard plastic velcro that is glued on, pop off the velcro and use it.

I'd buy two new matching ones from the friendly local MB dealer.

Epoxy doesn't stick to plastic, try some plastic model cement.
