Well, I guess you are not the only person in need for some spare ones.
I do have a few undamaged ones, but could use some additional spare 
ones.

Maybe a future possibility to have a (maybe Chinese) manufacturer make
a batch of 1000, 2000 or maybe 10000 clips with a type of plastic which
is slightly more flexible so that they do not break off to quickly?

I have no idea what current prices would be for this field of 
manufacturing
but would an item price of $0.50 - $1.00 be something sensible? In that 
case,
I would gladly take 100 panel clips.
