Greetings all- the tab off my rear bumper cover has broken off the cover itself on the drivers side. Any ideas how I could attach something there to get a secure attachment back to the metal clip attachment? I first thought it was the clip that broke but it's the tab coming off the bumper cover itself. Thanks for any suggedtions in advance!

There are a number of these tabs across the bumper, so if only one is broken it's probably not a big deal.

Don't think the drilling idea would work. It is the last connection point on the drivers side so I don't think it really causes any issues with the cover coming off or anything. Just looks a little sad the way it sags down on that side. Short of maybe trying to epoxy something back to the bumper cover to try and create a new tab, I can't think of a good way to secure it short of replacing the whole bumper cover. Excessive for me for just that one little issue though...

I have the older rubber bumpers but would drilling holes through the plastic and using black zip-ties work?
