Bumper Tab Broken
Two of my bumper tabs on my rear bumper are broken. Is there anyway to fix bumper tabs?
I did a quick search and found 3M Superfast Plastic Adhesive. Have any of you tried it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

i don't have the bumper with me right now because it is getting repainted but basically the best way i can describe it is that there are multiple bumper tabs along the whole seam from the side all the way around and they stop at the trunk. and the bumper tabs are like basically clips so theres nothing that goes through them like as if they were holes, so instead these tabs just slide in between and are held by clips. i'll try to get a picture if i can but i wont get my bumper back til monday

this picture is easier, this isn't my bumper, its just some picture i found when i was googling for a bumper tab.
So in the picture (its difficult to see, you have to be looking for it) i circled where the tabs are, they are very thin and just slide into a clip. and so mine have cracked apart from the bumper but are still barely holding on but its causing the bumper to be disconnected.

How about something like this, if you don't have the old tabs then go to 2:54 on the video to see what to do with that product. Worth a shot before buying a new bumper.
*edit I didn't realize you were asking about the same product. I've never used it before so I can't speak from experience. I've seen it used on wheeler dealers and it came out good
