Rear Bumper Plastic

[liquiddan]

Got up this morning to find my plastic piece on the bumper was hanging off, someone must have hit my truck sometime late last night or early this morning. Anyways I did some JB weld to to fix it but not sure how to reattach it. The piece has three thin tabs at the top that got a little trashed and missing some metal clips. Anybody experience this and might have a solution to fix????

Well I came up with an idea I hope works. I got some large zip ties and cut them down, heated them and made a bend. I then notched the original tabs that held the plastic bumper piece and used some JB weld to hold the zip ties that I cut and put in place. I haven't attached it yet, I want to give the weld a good 24 hours to set, but I'm getting a little impatient. Hope it holds up.

Got the piece back on and seems to fit good, hope it stays on.

Just noticed this thread, how is this holding up so far, any issues?

I agree, that looks like a good fix. I have the same issue and was wondering what I was going to do. Thanks for the idea.
