Has anyone had success repairing / replacing a broken stud in the front bumper top molding? One of the studs snapped off during disassembly, despite several soakings in Sea Foam. Best I can tell these are molded into the rubber. I can't think of a way to remove the remaining stud without making things worse. I could of course melt it out, but then I have no way to set a new stud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
 I realize new ones are available for sale. This one is in quite good shape with the exception of that stud. Seems a shame to trash it. Especially when the new ones are hundreds of dollars. |

I successfully used JB Weld years ago to place a stud that had pulled out of a rear lower spoiler on a 944 Turbo - very similar material to the 914 bumper tops. I'd try drilling it out, fill the hole with JB and then insert a new stud and let it set up. Just have to pay attention to make sure you have correct alignment and depth.
