      Esteban, please help! I’m a mom and have never picked up a drill. I ordered one online, a black and decker, along with some drill bits. How do I know if this is the right one for my TOYOTA bumper? How do I know it will go through the material? If you see this please treat me like a 5 year old and tell me what bit thing I’m suppose to pick! There are 50 to choose from and I feel very overwhelmed 😫😔 Any information you can give me will be so appreciated! Thank you for sharing this!

      Kimmy, sorry just saw this now ... usually i get an email when someone comments on a video. most drill bits will work on plastic or wood. They make special ones for metal. Your drill manual should tell you what type of drill bits you have. If you are using panel retainers, you want to use a drill bits that is smaller than the panel retainer stem. The drill bit size that you select should be about 50-60% smaller than the retainer stem. If the hole is to big, then the retainer will not hold.

    Hey I've just completed these same repairs on my Nissan 2005 Tiida & with the help of some very cheap plastic welding tools I simply repaired/replaced the missing & broken pieces which is a job I have never done previously. Rest assured I'm no mechanic & instead I'm a computer technican but this particular repair was in actuality a mere piece of cake. Plastic welding is so easy & I'm confident now to do this type of vehicle repair again at any time!! There are heaps of excellent "how to do" videos on this very subject on "You Tube" & the last place you should be considering visiting is either a repair shop or worse even thinking about wasting money on a new bumper!! (yeah right) All you have to do is get your act together, spend some time reading up about it first on (You Tube) like I did & then put the theory into practise!! As you're not going to repair the "TITANIC" so simply get into it. If I can do it so can you & believe me or not I'm probably twice your age (over 70 in fact) so stop mucking around & pull finger!!

      Hi Alexis, the bottom piece usually uses some kind of retainer (similar to panel retainers). if there is too much damage to the bottom piece you can try to use zip ties to see if you can attach it to some part of the frame. might be a bit challenging to get underneath though. You might need to lift the car, but have to be super careful and have the right tools. you don't want to end up squashed by the vehicle.

      Hi John, depends how severe the damage is. We drove(highway, freeways, road) my wife car with the damage for a few months without any problems and could have drove it longer. if the bumper is severely damaged(if it's dragging close to the floor), then I would repair before driving it. Just depends on the severity.

      yup .. when parking over the concrete slab. if you park to close to the slab and bumper cover will rub and can potentially break some of those plastic clip/ratainers that hold the bumper cover to the fender liner.

    Good but better to use zip ties or cable ties because the retainer didn't work well. I drill 4 holes in the under part and used zip ties(cable ties) to keep it together nor does everyone have a clip

    My car's fender didn't exactly break off in this way. The hole where the screw goes into broke off. In theory all I have to do is screw it back in but that's gonna be difficult to do considering its from the inside. Its my first car. Do you recommend this method?

      If the fender did not break away and it's not dangling or unaligned, then I would probably leave as is. If it keeps you awake at night not having the screw, and the support that it provides to the fender then I would consider some type of fix.

      As long as you have evidence. I called my pool guy blaming him for the white Scratch marks on my black Camry (his truck was white and many times I saw him back up into my driveway). I later found out it was my wife who hit my car, she came clean a few days later. Called my pool guy and apologized... hence evidence is key, if you have it then they are liable. Check the fine print on the contract if there's one.

      1st step is to analyze damage to the bumper to determine if you can reattach it. There should be a few Major spots in the bumper where it attaches to the frame of the car. if those are not severely damage then you might be able to reattach it. If those spots are severely damage, then we need a Plan B, Plan B is to get creative and possibly use zip tie wraps to reattached it if possible. There are different size of tie wraps, consider using the larger ones to reattached at the major spots. I love a good challenge, this definitely fall into this category, wish can be there to help. let me know if you have any other questions and best of luck with your repair .. you can send me some picks.... email is "about" section in my channel.

      Hi nick, you can try to use panel retainers or use the mini zip ties. If you use the panel retainers when drilling the holes they should be smaller then the panel retainers so that the threads in the retainer can hold the bumper.
