Tow hook covers

The little retainer broke off one of my covers, and the other one is about to go.
I've heard that these are sold unpainted which sounds like a PIA.
Anyone have any neat little tricks to modify these so I can keep on using them?
I'm afraid glue won't hold on that tiny little strand of plastic.

Well I epoxied the little strap back on (left) and reinforced the other one (right).
No big deal, there are more serious things to worry about.
