A friend of mine made me a complete plate in steel with lugs also in steel. He used my broken one that had two clips remaining as a template. He also drilled two holes in the face of the plate so that I can use a bungee to stop small items sliding around the boot. If you knock the remaining plastic hooks off the old one, the flat plastic trim that remains then glues onto the replacement plate so the repair is invisible.
The only downside is that the new trim and hooks are stronger than the boot trim slots into which it fits, so rough treatment damages stuff elsewhere
