The other 3 corner clips are ok. Do I really need to replace the broken one? And if so, how?

Do you think our 80-051 would make a good replacement for this? Sizing would be your only question mark.

I'm not totally sure if the 3 existing clips will work by themselves, but it would be a poor recommendation for me to say that you don't need to replace a broken part on your door. The installer used 4 clips for some reason. Better safe than sorry.

the 80-51 is ver similar but not quite the same. Mine is 1 3/8 high and 2 3/4 long where yours is 2? high and 2 3/8 long. The design is also a bit different. I?ve included a new photo, of an existing clip so you can see the difference in design.
PS: The door was installed about 12 years ago. Hoping to get exact one. Not sure if yours will work.

I'm afraid we won't be able to supply your exact type. I don't think it's made anymore. At this time, the 80-051 is the only possible replacement option we can recommend. I apologize for the inconvenience.
