Default How do I fix this thing?

I purchase this old 2015 GS 350 and we later found out that it has a few cosmetic issues. How do I find tuck this back in and make it stay there?

Another not issue, not so serious, is this peeling off paint. Is this something I can fix it myself or at least makes it not too visible? I think the previous owner might have painted it black and now it's rubbing off.

1st picture. It looks like the tab needs to be repaired. A bolt/screw usually holds up the corners of the bumper into the fender.
2nd picture. I would have an automotive upholstery shop repaint the door card.

Awesome, thank you! I'll take a look when it's a bit warmer and get an estimate on the upholstery shop repaint.

I'd remove it and plastic weld the broken tab with a soldering iron.


I'm sure you can find enough spare material behind the bumper to weld it.

Anyone know what these clips are called? Looks like I may need a couple. Thank you.

Push clips (I haven't used the ones below, more just giving an example you can search by)

They have other kits with multiple clips which may be useful for you if you have more issues.
