Gang:
Over the years I probably have had at least 15 of these clips with the too thin snap arms breaking. Amazon has them online for $10.41 (plus shipping): https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-2930...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5T2FFPZG50AX0NM7C19X

I have come up with a fix for the broken ones that is pretty easy, and is still removable. The following photo kind of spells it out. The attaching mechanics wire is twisted twice around the bar clockwise on one end, twice around the bar counterclockwise on the other end, and the two long ends are twisted together tightly under the clip and bar, and snipped off closely. You probably want to tuck the snipped of wire end up toward the clip to prevent hands getting scraped on sharp wire ends.

Left to right we have unbroken clip, broken clip, broken clip with very small drilled hole in corner just above the broken fingers area, mechanics wire piece, and demo completed repaired clip attached to a drillbit representing the refrigerator shelf bar.
