During removal of the rear bumper, one of the bolts on the (plastic :???:) strip assembly broke http://lh3.ggpht.com/_GvQ87tJMRGo/Sj52OOgMnHI/AAAAAAAAAL8/Bb4-fmjHlek/s128/IMG_1516_1.jpg. What would you suggest: just leave it up to the 3 other bolts or cut a piece of the plastic plate and install one other bolt and nut?

Thanks in advance,

If you can make a new bracket go for it. If you can't then just l;eave it to the other 3 to do the work. Should be fine with 3, but always better with all four.:neutral2:

If you want to do a perfect job you can probapbly walk through you local junkyard and find a replacement cheap.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the ideas. It will certainly help me.

@ 79ElkyFL: The only junk we have at the junkyards are European, Japanese, Taiwan and Chinese cars :wink1:. American made cars are not common at the junkyards overhere.

Regards,
