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.

Can you provide a picture of exactly what "bumper tab" you are talking about? Usually its a matter of drilling a new hole and fishing through a new bolt/nut or zip-tie.

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.

No "real" way of fixing it, but if you have the tabs still that broke off you can apoxy it or plastic weld it back together. Of course the strength won't be there, but at least the tab will be there.

Same thing happened to me. I JB weld them back together but there is still a minor gap.

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

Plastic welder is your best friend. My bumper tabs have broken on multiple occasions and you can fix it with a plastic welder. I fixed my front bumper, but you should be able to do it in the same spot that your talking about on the rear.

Where do you get a plastic welder cause I don't have any tools so i have to go get some. Do you recommend any certain brands and or products?

The bottom tab that you have circled is broken on my rear bumper as well. I used a Dremel to drill a very small hole in a part of the bumper that's not visible and I used metal wire to tighten it against the car. It's been holding strong for several months now.

I honestly just use an old soldering iron I have. Make sure to use a mask when plastic welding for obvious reasons.
