Front plastic grill broken (1 Viewer)

I just noticed my front grill has broken tabs on the bottom (all three). Now the grill flaps.

Anyone fixed this? Glue? Screws? Wire? I don't want to buy a new one.

I temporarily fixed mine by epoxying the tabs back to the grille. It worked OK but they all came off again the next time i removed the grille.

A trick I use that is permanent, formed into anything can be sanded and used on all types of plastic is super glue and baking soda. Make tabs or reattach items by putting superglue and then sprinkle baking soda. It will create heat so don’t on your skin…but that is permanent. You can get different viscosity of super glue from Amazon, prefer medium myself and a box of baking soda. I think you will appreciate the finished product and you can paint over is as well. I fixed my grille, old roof rack mount covers, body bump outs, etc…. Hope you find it useful. Take Care….
