    So I've had my 07 prius for a year and a half and my wife has finallyanaged to break the rear hatch handle. The two center square clips are broken and the post attaatchment on right broke. I'm assuming this is a common problem given flimsy nature of the attathment. Is there a more robust/recomended fix , or is this just a take it to a Body shop and have em fix it thing? Frankly i dont care if the piece is perfectly color matched to cars silver color, and a black piece would like fine too. Thoughts?

    You can use a good professional super glue to reattach the broken bolts. Or you can buy the prepainted replacement part from the dealer
