Question Door panel question

Okay so my door panels are (or seem) totally ****ed. Some of the little pockets (for lack of a better word) that hold the clips are shattered, and most of my clips are missing. I think I have like two each door, so I went to the local store and picked some plastic screw lookin things that they said are "clips" and that they would work. My question is, are my panels totally screwed or is there a way I can fix 'em (like maybe use some washers or something)? And will plactic pos clips work with the panels?

Oh and my panels were also cracked around the handle hole and arm rest, I put some JB weld on them, will that hold you think?

I noticed in one of the LMC, Dennis Carpenter or NPD magazines that they make a new door panel with reinforced tabs on the back, can't remember which one. It looked like a pretty good fix to this problem.

When I buy new panels I think I will go this route
