So as I was removing my door panel, several of the tabs that hold the panel into place broke. Now my door panel is on but the bottom part is very loose and flimsy as it has nothing holding it to actual door.
What's the fix for this?

You can buy new clips at the dealership for an arm and/or a leg. Or I've found them on eBay before for significantly cheaper.
At the time when I needed some, none of my local parts stores had them.

I used velcro tape. It is velcro, but the back of both halves are sticky so you can attach them to a surface. Put one half on your door, the other half on your panel and install. Very secure. Also, makes future disassemblies very easy.
