gotham22 Posted July 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2022 I started putting my front bumper back on the car and I noticed I have a problem with a broken bolt. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I really do not want to have to buy a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted July 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2022 I would dig the remainder of that bolt out of the bumper and either epoxy a new bolt in or use a urethane adhesive caulk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 22, 2022 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah. unfortunately that stud was molded into the rubber of the bumper end when it was molded at the factory. As Patcon suggested, about the only thing you could do now is grind it all out and glue something in as a replacement. And once you've gotten good at it by practicing on your bad one, I'd do your "good one" too, cause it looks like it's not long for this world either.

Captain Obvious Posted July 25, 2022 Share #6 Posted July 25, 2022 Looks great. Doesn't have to take a lot of tension. Just has to keep the ends from flopping around out in the wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
