The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed.

You could remake them, sand off the old ones then glue them on.

Why do you bother posting? Your seriously half retarded.

This in which you speak would make the clips incredibly weaker and break from NORMAL driving.

With a good epoxy, the spot glued will be stronger than the plastic.

And seeing as said task would be tasking and take forever, a new bumper would be far cheaper.

If you're shit at body work yes. I didn't mean use glue like pritstick. I mean industrial glue like tigerseal. Trust me I know first hand this stuff is as good as bolting parts on.

And No i'm not retarded I know many mechanics and bodywork specialists and this is their advice in this situation. Being retarded is to right your when you mean you're.

Then obviously at this point something else would be wrong besides the rear bumper cover.
