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. |

Looks like you got it
I used 3M Marine 5200 to repair a top bumper cover “ chunk out”. I did a thread on it several years ago (maybe 8-9 years ago). It bonds very well to the original rubber and can be sanded smooth. It would definitely work to hold a stud. That stuff is amazin. Still looks good. |
