Default front bumper corners ripped. looking for the common cure

im sure we all experienced the ripped bumper corners.

i know of these cures...
use quick disconnect (rice) bungie and spools.
ziptie stitching.
new bumper
plastic weld and oem bolt thingy.

i tried one of those plastic trim push in things. didnt work.

Same boat. Gonna dig through the FAQs etc on this one.

Context: I'm not a car mechanic but I do have the McGyver gene.

Anyone who's been there and fixed this? Pic? A few words?

Thanks!

Drill holes into the metal lip above the bumper and try to screw the bumper into it

Get some fender washers and cut them to size. Jbweld or some other adhesive them to the inner side of the bumper. Use plastic, metal or zip tie fastener of your choice
