I've used Gorrilla Glue (sp?) on other things before with good results.
What's easier is go to the dealership and order a bunch of new ones.
The part was only about $1.50 when I ordered mine. Since they're new parts, the plastic will last much longer than one from the junkyard too.
i just ziped tied mine to the trunk shock same thing... few cents for zip ties haha
and i chop it wen i want to take out my cover

whats the part number for this part?
and is it $1.50 for one or two?
It's for one.
as for taking them off, you need a flathead screwdriver.
I pulled some out by prying them gently up and to one side, until I could see one of the "v" prongs. When you see one, push it in towards the center with the screwdriver and pull it out of the hole, once that side is loose, the other side of the clip comes out easily. If you need to, you can use the technique to pull this part at a junkyard and leave it reusable. I did it last weekend to get a couple for my latest fastback.
Oh, and if you're at the junkyard, here's an upgrade you can do if you have a base model hatch.
If you find an SE or LE, you can use the hatch struts, they are heavier duty, and have a red Nissan logo instead of a blue one.
They are meant to hold up a hatch with a wing and wiper, and wear out slower. With these struts, you can also run most aftermarket wings and not worry about the hatch closing on you. They are held on with two 12mm bolts, and the junkyard usually charges between $5 and $7 each for them.

yea i did buy some hatch shocks but they werent for me. cost was like 4.50 each. im not sure what color they were either. oh fyi i got the 89 240 SE but my shocks r good already. holds up the hatch+wing nicely but i do notice the first few degrees of lifting, its really heavy
