The heater drain flap is a push-fit into a slot in the bodywork, there
should be no need for glue. 
As far as I am aware, the flap has not been reproduced by any manufacturer,
at least not on the British side of the Atlantic. I have the flaps earmarked
as a new product for this winter, let me know if you find a source in the
meantime as I've no desire to invest time and money in re-inventing the
wheel! Buying a few hundred at a time from another supplier would be a
better option than commissioning a batch of thousands,
Cheers,
Bill.
