[Shop-talk] car repair at home (in my Shop)

[Brian Kemp]

I second E6000.  My wife hit something on the road that ripped the front edge of the rear bumper out of the brackets/clips by the rear tire - VW Jetta.  I reattached with E6000 about 5 years ago and it still holds.  I used some painters tape and a pair of spring clamps for about an hour to hold it together while it dried.

I have had good luck with E6000 gluing hard to glue
surfaces.  Maybe try E6000 along with the supporting
wire idea?

The front bumper on my wife's 2016 Lexus recently got damaged. No clue how as there are no signs of it getting hit. I was able to reattach this broken bit using the original mounting clip but it obviously didn't hold. 
 
Any thoughts on what I can use to try to fix this broken mount point so the OEM clip will hold it?
 
Thanks
