Tailgate door card

I'm refitting door cards in my 89 T25 as part of its facelift, I bought a card from JK for the tailgate ( as I thought I'd start with the smallest and easiest to recover first ) The clips they sell for the T25 just fall in and out of the 18 holes in the tailgate, the holes are original and have not been drilled out, looking for any advice or solutions as JK offer no help.

Quickest and probably cheapest option is to fix door card by drilling holes through card into tailgate and secure with self tapping screws. If you cover card with fabric, cut a tiny slit in fabric were the hole is and you might never even see the screw heads. Alternatively fit plastic caps to screw heads which come in a range of colours.

These look the same as the ones on my tailgate card, which I happened to remove and refit yesterday.

Those look like the front door card clips on mine. Thanks though.

@ pandp38, that's how my old cards were fitted, I was going to do that again with the coloured screw covers but then I saw the cards on JK with the push fit clips and I was mislead LOL. Cheers.
