Joe Frito Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was washing teh car last night and noticed that the rear bumper seemes a bit "loose" when I was detailing the bottom valance. I looked underneath and noticed that the thin plactic support piece (there are 3 total) in the middle of the bumper had broken. These supports don't really hold the bumper by much, so I am not suprised that it has broken. I'm looking for any ideas on how I can re-attach this piece to the bumper. Thanks in advance for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 If it's the middle one, I would leave it off and simply file down the edge of it. It's one of those things that I haven't come up with a good permanent solution for yet. You may be able to use a thin piece of plastic bent on a 60 deg angle stuck on the inside; using gorilla glue.

BIKEBOY Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Joe, this has been discussed before. I think the easiest fix for it would be to drill a very small hole on both sides...the tab and the bmpr. cover and run a very small black ziptie through both holes. I believe that's what was discussed last time around a year or so ago on this? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08KR525 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Harbor Freight has a "plastic welder" in their stores that appears to be a type of soldering iron that uses plastic as the solder. It wasn't very much and if you used it on a practice piece first it may be just the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiaCobra Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I would try "JB Weld". That stuff does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
