Stupid bumper wont stay attached!

I took off my front bumper a while back to put in 2 new headlights but i lost the retaining clip on the passenger side where the very back of the bumper hooks up to the fender. I just put in a bolt with washers on both sides and tightened a nut on it. This doesnt work though, it has fallen off and the replacement fell off too. How would you guys recomend i keep this stupid front bumper connected in a way that will last. Thanks!

Re: (Kikomon)

I have never had a problem with my zip ties, there easy to cut off and replace, just don't get the ones that take 150 pounds of pressure to break. I have my bumper on and off so much that zip ties are the best for me..
