Re: [DML] Fascia broken bolts

[Nick Kemp <nkemp@xxxxxxxx>]

First, remove all of the old fasteners to get a good mounting base.  Get the replacements (I think there are some SS ones out there somewhere.  At a minimum, get the zinc chromated ones ) and glue them in with polyurethane ( the windshield adhesive).  That is what I did with the rear fascia and it worked fine.  BTW ... breaking them is the norm when attempting to remove them.

My wonderful mechanic broke off a number of bolts when removing my front and rear fascias.  I need a recommendation as to how to fix them.  They are mounted from the inside of the bumper and do not go all the way through, so putting a bolt through it will not work as they will be visible from the outside.  Purchasing new fascias will be quite expensive, so let me know if you have come up with a fix.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Jack.
