The trunk reflector plastic pegs broke and I've seen this on other Tracers as well. We are unable to find another. If we were to go to a used car parts lot, most likely, they would break before we could pop one off. We are forced to use tape to hold it in place. The auto repair shop said that part couldn't be ordered anymore. Yes, this is an old car, but still, we should be able to drive on the freeway without our trunk reflector blowing off and causing an accident. The driver rear tail light is doing the same thing too. The light works, but the plastic fittings break and the light could blow off as well--but it is mostly intact at this time and I'm pretty sure I can buy another, however, at this time our tape does run from most of the reflector to the light as well. I just think they should make a trunk reflector that doesn't blow off. I don't care how old the car is.
