Default Driverside headliner panel rattle

Hey guys,

So this rattle is driving me absolutely bonkers, I've taken a look and it appears the prongs that snap the panel into place have broken off entirely.

What are some recommendations on getting this thing to stay put securely?

Also, my driverside window rattles whenever I shut my door or go over bumps...any ideas on that issue?

Thanks

Double sided tape. Cheaper stuff, not some good 3M VHB stuff, cause you might want to take it off some time in the future.

As for the rattle with the window when shutting the driver's door.
I actually just took mine apart today to fix the glass not sitting in the rubber seal track correctly.
There is a track on each side of the glass one near the door jamb and one near the door hinge. All you have to do is take the door panel off (pretty easy, just go slow to not break anything) and then remove the vapor barrier.
It could also possibly be the motor mechanism or where the glass is held in on it. But either way, if you take the door panel and vapor barrier off you can see inside pretty well to determine what is loose and needs your attention.
If it's the track, you can PM me if you want and I'll tell you how to safely remove and reseat the guide.
Here's what it looks like with the panels removed on mine.
