The good news is that once the trim is on the car, there is not that much stress on the pins. There are two ways to make a repair. 1. If the base where the pin is big enough. Carefully drill a hole where the broken pin was. Then using a bottoming tap put some 4/40 or 6/32 threads in the hole. Using thread locker screw the correct size screw in that hole. Grind the head of the screw off. You now have a stud for that mount. 2. If the broken pin spot is to small or shallow to do the drill and tap method. Use a Dremel tool and cut the base of the broken pin out. Cut the head off of a 4/40 screw. JB weld the screw in place of the broken pin. You can use masking tape to hole it in place until the JB cures.
