there should be 2 clips sticking out clips at the top and bottom of the connection to the flap. it should look identical top and bottom.

on both my cars, one of the clips broke off, and the spring popped out as its not held in place.

if one of the clips has broken, you'll need to replace the plastic hinge - about £7-8 from dealers. 10 minute job.

will try and see if i can take a picture and upload later.

(sorry that applys to my '51 S60 and '06 XC90, assume same connection as yours)
