This saved me likely hundreds of dollars from what a shop would have charged and took all of 40 mins start to finish including drying time. Thanks!

[@loveVanity6]

Is the bumper staying on with no issues? I may need to do this unfortunately

[@wesfields9322]

Not all heros wear a cape, but all of them know how to use tape

[@HagakureJunkie]

Make yourself a bit of ABS slurry (mix acetone with abs plastic pieces in a jar), it will bond 10x better than plastic welder. Use a soldering iron to melt in some mesh in the plastic and top it off with the ABS slurry then drill a hole and it's good as new.

[@keno2048]

This is all a valid fix, and the only thing I would adjust on these instructions would be to make the hole bigger. Having that bolt tightly held by the bumper cover is going to transfer literally 'all' of the road vibrations directly through that bit of plastic and shorten the lifespan of the repair. A larger hole (allowing more of the vibration to transfer from the bolt to the mounting) would I think, yield a better end result.

[@ryanhensley146]

That was brilliant. Well done.

Bruh, I am freaking impressed. Good job bro.

This was incredibly satisfying to watch!

Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent!!! I'm needing to fix a "faux pas" on my car I just made a few weeks ago and am figuring out how to remove my bumper and fix the tabs that were affected, bend my quarter panel back to it's original shape and reattach the bumper!!!! This is just what I needed!!! Thank you for your idea and explaining it so well!!! Ten thumbs up!!!!

He said u wanna let it dry for 20 minutes to 1 hour, but we let it dry for 15 minutes only. Lol 😂

[@fezanbhatti1292]

I have the same issue as my bumber clips are broken from the right fender side. I went to a local body repair workshop, and the guy told me we would replace bumber, and both fenders and estimated cost would be $2000 min and $2500 max. I was like WTF no thanks. I came back home and watched your video and luckily have all the tools available and fixed the bumber in 1.5 hours without paying 2 grands. There are sharks in my neighborhood.

@@ots9358in NYC i got a $1,600 estimate to replace a fender which is unreasonable considering a fender's $200, 2 cans of paint $120 and it takes 1.5hrs for a beginner to uninstall and replace. Pricing themselves out of work but i suppose people are paying or they wouldn't still be in business

[@user-rr3oc9rk6c]

That Permatex epoxy is the shiz! Used it to fabricate the torn-off piece of my bumper (reinforced with plastic cut from a can lid + Gorilla tape), drilled out the hole, then bolted that f-ing bumper cover right back where it belongs. Doesn't look like it was ever torn off. Thanks for showing how simple this really is.

[@abc33944]

never thought about this way,, nice one!

[@jorgetrevino5757]

I fix mine with a plastic repair tool using one of the metal clips and also the convinient is clip is bendable sometimes the bumps are sand down and don’t hold anyway with this idea and with clip you can bend it up and it hold it or sand flat the bump and use a little screw small enough to fit on clips head

[@omega4568]

I used alcohol at 50% and epoxy. Do you know that I had that epoxy in my storage, but never thought to use it like this! Thank you for your video I realized that this was the solution to repair my 2006 Mazda 3 bumper cover edge.

That looks really good. I have no idea what you actually did though lol

[@aznnp77]

Oh, so you guys basically did what I just did. Except I used a metal washer, and JB welded around it. If that falls out I'll try this. Thanks, I didn't wanna buy one of those tacky bumper quick releases. I'm too old for that kinda shit. Oh I lost the screw and that white thingy to screw into, so I just used a cable tie. It doesn't work perfectly, as if I hit a bump it maybe comes out 2mm, but it works.

[@subz6739]

The only issue I got is the plastic part which my bumper is supposed to be attached to has fallen off. There is no stable base I can really attach it back onto. Maybe I can glue the bumper onto the upper panel but I’m worried I will look weird with no gap in between. I can’t afford a whole new bumper so that’s my best option for the current moment.

recently got a car with this job done to it & let me just say, it’s awful. Zip ties would’ve been 100x better.

[@DanielGarcia-rz1td]

How’d you do it

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

Why not just use a zip-tie? You pull away a bit of the wheel-well cover so you can get access to inside the quarter-panel, and you insert a zip-tie to where one of the bumper clips used to be. You then thread the length of zip-tie into the matching hole on the bumper, and then pull the rest of that zip-tie back to the hole of the zip-tie, and insert it into the tie, then pull to tighten the zip-tie and that loop of plastic then pulls up the bumper to the car's quarter-panel.
